On Sunday, October 19th, everyone is invited to attend our first Wilderness Committee Open House. This will be a fun evening for people with any level of interest in conservation of biodiversity to get informed, inspired and involved in our citizen-led campaigns to protect the gems of Manitoba's wilderness.

We'll start with a picture and video expo of the recent wilderness expeditions, with updates on the campaigns we're working on, and opportunities for volunteer involvement over the next month. After that we'll move into taking some action with letter writing to decision-makers, plus making signs and billboards with progressive, informing messages about the way we want our wilderness to be treated. To finish off the night, we'll open up the floor for some discussion, mingling and refreshments. Your presence and participation at the Open House will be greatly appreciated by us, and will have a positive impact in moving forward our efforts to achieve greater protection for Manitoba's public wild areas.
