The government of Manitoba has released a public consultation brochure on the Fisher Bay park reserve. Unfortunately the government neglected to inform the Fisher River Cree Nation, who has been working with government for years to have this area permanently protected.

As well, the public consultation is on boundary adjustments for the park reserve, yet the government brochure neglected to inform people of the proposed boundary adjustments that were proposed by the Fisher River Cree Nation last year, and are a result of extensive ecological studies.

This is a disappointing and disrespectful step that the government has taken. The best way to respond is to email the government your opinion about having the Fisher Bay park reserve become a new protected provincial park, with the boundaries proposed by the Fisher River Cree Nation.
