On August 22, 2017, the Manitoba government launched public consultations on three new environmental initiatives designed to improve water management and modernize watershed planning:

 

• a made-in-Manitoba program called Growing Outcomes in Watersheds (GROW), featuring a new partnership with farmers to create ecological goods and services;
• a watershed-based drainage and water resource management plan to protect important wetlands and watershed retention; and 
• a plan to modernize Manitoba’s conservation districts program.
