As Lake of the Woods continue to gain popularity by word of mouth, the population drawn into the wild and the great outdoors are changing.
With a good amount of funding coming from the Regional Tourist Organization, residents in the prairies and the American Midwest were introduced to the Lake of the Woods Vacation Area Guide magazine. It was promoted in Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis, Brandon, Winnipeg, and Saskatoon. Traditional fishing and hunting in the Kenora area was the prime focus of the tourism marketing.
“It’s evolving,” said Carol Davis, who has been traveling with the shows. “More are starting to offer things like camping, houseboats are huge. It goes with fishing — the hook and bullet market — but it’s family oriented. It has changed from the four fishermen coming up to the family. It is going into kayaking and canoeing. People are interested in wildlife photography.”
A heightened level of interest has been brewing about Saskatchewan as the newest spot for tourist wanting to have the best fishing time in the Northwestern Ontario region. However, the book has been in circulation around the province for the past four years.
“Saskatchewan has the fastest-growing economy in Canada right now. They’ve outstripped every other province and they’re very familiar with Lake of the Woods,” Davis explained. “A lot of them are transplanted from another part of Canada ad they want to come and explore. They are very receptive to the product we have here. They all have their favorite parts of the lake. The Morrison area is totally different from up at this end but the same activities are available in all areas.”

The Manitoba River is home to many scenic spots however, hydroelectric dams and waterways were built also in the same area. Therefore, the location may not only be scenic and exciting but it may also be dangerous.
Hence, if you decide to go out, explore the wild and enjoy a thrill of fishing in the Manitoba River, it is best to exercise some caution especially if you are close to a hydroelectric dam.
Here are five safety tips:
1.    Obey Warning Signs. Fences, buoys, booms and barriers on dry land or erected on water are danger markers. Anything surrounded by these markers may be unsafe therefore keep away from them.
2.    Keep a good distance from water’s edge. Banks may be unstable, wet rocks are most likely slippery, and water currents are unpredictably dangerous. Hence, never wade into moving water.
3.    Never stand below a dam or tie a boat there. Water levels may abruptly change and would be tough to navigate through it. The power of the water flow may bump your boat against huge boulders, which might crack a leak and ultimately sink you in strong undertow.
4.    Only walk around designated safe zones. When making a tour around a hydroelectric dam or station structures, always stay on public viewing areas and pathways. Never attempt to break in or explore any restricted areas.
5.    Dry riverbeds close to dams are unsafe areas too. The dam might be under an automatic control and would suddenly set off an unscheduled spill. You definitely do not want to be in the middle of a tsunami-like dam spill.

A city in Ontario, known for great hockey players such as Wayne Gretzky and scientific advances like the first long distance call of Alexander Graham Bell, will make another mark in history.

This time they will be doing a very first-of-its-kind ecological regulation in the Canadian region. Brantford, Ont., would like to ban fishing sharks for their fins ? a controversial ingredient used in some Asian dishes.

“This is a serious ecological issue,” said former Ontario provincial legislature member Phil Gillies, who now works as a consultant with the international environment group WildAid. “Some species of shark are threatened with extinction in 12 to 15 years. The threat of shark extinction would have serious implications for mankind.”

The proposed bylaw which forbids acquiring, selling and devouring of shark fin products will be presented to the Legislature next week. Then on May 24, councilors will cast their vote on the said motion.

If the motion gets a majority’s aproval then the city made up of 90,000 citizens would surpass Toronto, Vancouver and Manitoba. They have recently been suggested to have the same law.

Mr. Gillies, the originator of the idea, suggested the concept to Brantford. He believes that Canada needs a national policy regarding the mutilation of shark fins. But until such time comes, he is happy that Bran tford is making the first stand with regards to the issue.

If you are an adventurous type in search for that moment where you could make a difference then the Gods Lake Narrows is just the place for you to earn that.

You could take your cue from the dynamic nursing duo named Cheryl and Mike Dove. Here is their story. After graduating from McMaster University in Hamilton and committing themselves in holy matrimony, the young couple decided to spend about 5 years in this First Nations community which has about a population of 1,600 and is located some 550 kilometers NE of Winnipeg.

Their 5 years of residence in this isolated fly-in community was described by the couple as a once in a lifetime experience that they will not ever trade for anything else in the world.

They have earned so many blessings and rewards during their stay. Professionally, they were able to practice what they have learned. They provided primary care, which included prescribing drugs, applying casts on patients with fractures and diagnosing patients. “That was a big part of the experience that most nurses never get the chance to do,” says Cheryl

With the absence of many advanced diagnostic equipments and some other standard equipment like bells and whistles, “you get a really strong foundation for your basic assessment skills,” says Cheryl.

There was a minor delay for my eyes to recover from the blinding refraction of the sunlight from the ripples coming from the small river. When I can finally see better, the shadowy forms of young walleyes began to show distinctly up the surface of the water. By keeping a stealthily silent observation near the shoreline, one could notice that there is a steady rise in number of fishes that swim up the surface just on the top edge of the boulders in preparation for their migration.

This scene is becoming more and more typical in many provinces as walleyes from many of the creeks and tributaries are preparing for the spawning season.

There has been a slight upset when unsettled and cool weather has slowed the process however with a series of warm weather the walleye population should be able to complete their spawning in the southern portion of Manitoba. It is expected that with heavy water flows coming from many tributaries, it should be a great spawning year for the most popular game fish in Manitoba.

The fishing season would soon begin this coming May 14. Anglers from the southern part of Manitoba are for sure going to find some challenges in their search for that perfect fishing spot. Many liked to go to the Red and attempt to catch some channel catfish. With the flows becoming seriously high and fast, the area would certainly pose some dangers. Nonetheless, one can still catch some catfish. One just have to look for back eddies which are spots where the water flow has slowed somewhat. For those who shore fish, an interesting option would be the Netley Creek, as the back marshes easily get warm under the b right May sunshine.

The Back 40 Festival is back this year to amuse residents and guests alike with unique flavors of music, crafts from artisan, delectable food, and warmth of family and friends that is uniquely a quintessential small family festival.
The Festival will be a noon to dusk affair on June 5 at the Morden Park bowl.
The annual festival was established as a tradition for local musicians to have a setting where they can exhibit and collaborate their world-class talent and encourage other artists to join in the festivity.
“We started the festival over 20 years ago to give ourselves a place to play, and it has developed into a festival that is unlike any other festival offered in southern Manitoba,” suggested board chair Linda Hiebert.
“This area is known for having a lot of festivals during the summer months, and we love starting the season off with a festival that is solely based around music … local music.”
The main act for the event would be a seasoned musical group from Manitoba who had just released their debut album last year. You would find their album, “Western Skies”, in most music stores.
The group is named Woody Holler and his Orchetra hails from Winnipeg and is composed of their finest folk and jazz musicians which can play a a western swing style genre which is described by Woody as “jazz from the saddle”.

If people would see me wandering through early dawn at -30 C just intently searching the dark sky, they would find me odd. It was a night that the moon faced the land in full glory. Its light giving the landscape a soft tone and the frozen lake and snow-covered pathways visible even in the distance. Fortunately, I wasn’t alone. I was with a group of 50 Japanese tourists flocked together wearing our identical parkas that the tour operator supplied us. It wasn’t a moon or stargazing session. We were there to witness by chance the more elusive spectacle of the Aurora Borealis.
While the waiting game is on, we retreat periodically to the spacious and warm dining hall where a steaming supply of homemade soup, bannock and hot chocolate drinks are served.
Our tour was at the Aurora Village which is 30 minutes north of Yellowknife. Apart from me, there’s just one other North American visitor. He is Artie, a Minnesota folk, who drove four straight days just to get there. To witness an aurora borealis was his dream. He’s an avid viewer of the Ice Road Trucker, a famous TV show that I’ve never seen.  Artie has an expansive knowledge of the North than I do.
I kind of lost count on the number of times I’ve wandered in and out of the dining hall. On my fourth or fifth trip out, I decided to sit on a heated, covered bench bunked on top of a hill. They say it was the best spot to view the northern lights. Just as it was settled, a flash of emerald green light ran across the tree-lined landscape.
Gradually, more colorful lights appeared which grew in intensity and numbers.
I was struck in awe and I watched in frozen stillness unmindful of the biting cold that’s gnawing my cheeks. The lights were captivating and danced in the heavens like silky ribbons stirred by gentle breeze.

Freshwater Fish Marketing Corp. is facing a potential defection and dissent. This week the Saskatchewan government had announced that its fishery will terminate the agreement with the Winnipeg=based Crown Corporation next year’s April.
Closer to home, the Lake Manitoba commercial Fisherman’s Association with its members at 450 will exercise suffrage on a resolution to abolish Lake Manitoba from FFMC’s mandate.
Last February at the first-ever public annual meeting of FFMC, board members were met with protest from another Manitoba group of fishers. They claimed that the corporation has acted crudely biased when they barred the group from exercising their agreed upon right to sell to any U.S. buyers that they choose.
The public annual hearing wouldn’t have happened had there been no indictment of the corporation’s officials issued by the office of the Auditor General of Canada who had determined weakness in the system and practices of the corporation.
“The breadth and depth of these strategic and ongoing challenges pose unprecedented hurdles for the corporation,” the audit said.
FFMC is the single-desk marketing and processing operation for all freshwater fish caught in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Northwest Territories and part of northwestern Ontario. It has the exclusive right and authority to process and market commercial fishery production sold across
