Saskatchewan River Delta Symposium & Stewardship Discussion Session

Posted June 28, 2010 by LSC

Straddling the provincial borders of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan River Delta is rich in biodiversity providing important habitat for hundreds of species of birds, mammals and fish. It is the largest inland river delta in North America, totaling approximately 9,500 square kilometers. It also plays an important role for the First Nations and other communities in the area. Human influences within the Saskatchewan River Delta have been significant, and it is important to raise awareness of this sensitive and critical habitat.

On September 14 – 15, 2010 at the Wescana Inn in The Pas, Manitoba, Partners for the Saskatchewan River Basin (PFSRB) is hosting a mini symposium to bring researchers, natural resource managers, policy makers and local stakeholders together to heighten awareness of and share information about the Saskatchewan River Delta.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010 – Mini Delta Symposium
The one day mini symposium will cover current and historical research and knowledge of the delta. It is in follow-up to the Saskatchewan River Delta Symposium…Past, Present and Future (April 2008) and a basin wide watershed leadership meeting (October 2009). This symposium will cover current and historical research and knowledge of the delta including:

• Water resources and dynamics
• Ecosystems and changes
• Human activities
• Social and economic aspects
• Land use

Wednesday, September 15, 2010 – Stewardship Discussion Session
This will be an exciting opportunity for participants to share information and brainstorm stewardship ideas for the Saskatchewan River Delta. It will begin with several presentations and follow up with an organized brainstorming session. Results of this brainstorming session will be posted on the website www.saskriverbasin.ca.
