The Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation (MHHC) Board of Directors recently approved $7.5 million in grants to 13 local watershed districts to support critical watershed conservation projects delivered under Manitoba’s Growing Outcomes in Watersheds (GROW) program. “This funding will help Manitoba’s watershed districts achieve local watershed management objectives, like reducing flooding and improving water quality. These projects will also benefit soil and wildlife conservation,” said Brent Pooles, chair of the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation (MHHC). The revenue for these watershed investments is generated from Manitoba’s $204 million in contributions made to The Winnipeg Foundation between 2018 and 2020.
