The Lake Winnipeg
Research Consortium
(LWRC) Inc. was founded in August 1998 to coordinate scientific research on
Lake Winnipeg following evidence of water quality deterioration
related to the 1997 Red River flood. The LWRC was incorporated
in Manitoba in 2001 and received charitable status in 2008. Membership in the LWRC has grown to 32 agencies
representing various government and university departments, and
corporate and other groups.
