The Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit: Synthesis and next steps (November 30 - December 1, 2010)

The Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit (November 30 - December 1, 2010) convened 150 stakeholders to develop a vision for reducing nutrient loading in Lake Winnipeg while supporting Manitoba's economy. The summit emphasized a sustainable development strategy and suggested that Manitoba lead the effort as the downstream jurisdiction. The document also references a summary on large basin management and ecosystem services in the Nelson-Churchill River Basin.

• The Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit, held on November 30 and December 1, 2010, brought together approximately 150 stakeholders, including scientists, business leaders, and policy-makers, to address water quality and nutrient loading in Lake Winnipeg. The event used a "back-casting" exercise to develop a future vision and identify steps to balance Manitoba's economic opportunities with the reduction of nutrient loading.
• Summit participants expressed a need for a sustainable development strategy for the Lake Winnipeg Basin that integrates social, economic, and environmental goals. The document suggests that Manitoba should lead this project because it is the principal beneficiary and the downstream jurisdiction of the lake.
• The document mentions a separate summary regarding the northern portion of the Nelson-Churchill River Basin in Canada, which examines the trends of ecosystem services in decision making and large basin management.
