Spring 2026 Updates

It's hard to believe that 2026 is already approaching the halfway point. We've had an incredibly busy year-to-date and are long overdue to provide some substantial updates on the projects we're coordinating, leading, and developing.

In the photo: In May, the LOWWSF team visited Pegamigaabo School in Big Grassy First Nation to speak with students about phosphorus management and restoring and protecting water quality. Pictured here are Meg Mills (left), Julianna Wanke (centre left), elder Roy Tom (centre right) and Teika Newton (right).

LOWWSF Awarded 2026 Youth in Philanthropy Recognition

On May 27, 2026, the Youth in Philanthropy group at Beaver Brae Secondary School (Kenora, ON) recognized four local charities, including the Lake of the Woods Water Sustainability Foundation, whose work and mandates align with the school program's core values of Excellence, Community, and Integrity.

The photo to the left, from the Kenora Miner and News, is of the 2026 Youth in Philanthropy Program students, along with Kenora & Lake of the Woods Community Foundation Executive Director Lynn McAughey (far left), as well as fellow foundation members Laura Wheatley and Liana Berezowski.
