From Nature Canada:

“Today is a day to celebrate. We are taking big strides in the journey to protect the Seal River Watershed. We welcome the collaboration with the Manitoba Government and Government of Canada, because we know this Nation-to-Nation-Nation approach benefits all of us. The Seal River Watershed Indigenous Protected Area will help our communities heal, create land jobs for land people, and help Manitoba and Canada meet reconciliation and conservation goals. And most of all, we are showing our youth that even though we come from small communities, we can do big things.”- Stephanie Thorassie, Executive Director of the Seal River Watershed Initiative.
