Lake Winnipeg | Les McEwan
McEwan speaks in a soft voice but he has a lot to say. He has years of experience as a farmer in southern Manitoba. And he’s been deeply involved in ways to research ways that agriculture not only thrives but also reduces its impact on the land and on Lake Winnipeg.
As chairman of the Deerwood Soil and Water Management Association and a director of the Lake Winnipeg Foundation McEwan has as deep roots in research as he does in practice.
A key take-away from this interview is that we so radically changed the prairie landscape that it’s hardly surprising that Lake Winnipeg is under pressure.
This is the third of several full interviews I’ll be posting as this co-creation continues. Why am I putting this out? I figure that if others listen to what McEwan has to say it will help identify the key insights needed to build this story. Let me know what stands out for you.
Don’t miss the interview with Vicki Burns and Bill Barlow.
