Province expands CWD detection efforts
Manitoba Natural Resources and Northern Development is advising of additional management actions to help prevent the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
CWD was first detected in Manitoba in 2021 in five mule deer along the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border. If the disease spreads and becomes endemic to Manitoba, there is a serious risk that CWD will threaten the health of all cervid populations in Manitoba.

Li Festival Di Michif brought in former residents from the Boggy Creek, San Clara and Shell River areas, along with other guests, to hear a variety of Métis music and see some old familiar faces.
