Wilderness Committee congratulates government on protecting most of Manitoba's parks, finally ending park logging
The government of Manitoba announced an end to nearly all park logging on November 21, 2008. The citizens that make up the Wilderness Committee from across Canada would like to congratulate Premier Doer and Conservation Minister Struthers for this historic step. While more work remains to be done with Duck Mountain Provincial Park, today will be remembered as a great and historic day for wild lands in Manitoba.
