Message from the Minister
 Welcome
to the Manitoba government’s Green and Growingwebsite. Visit this site
often to find out how you can help protect and preserve the environment where
we live, work and play.
On this site you will find our Green and Growing strategic framework – the
province’s plans and priorities for creating a sustainable economy for
Manitoba’s future. Going green is a focal point for economic growth and
development around the world. And Manitoba has clear goals on where we’re
going, and how to get there.
This site will provide you with up-to-date information on new and emerging,
clean energy alternatives – from wind farms, geothermal heat pumps and
energy-efficient products and services, to biomaterials/biofuels, new-generation
hydro projects and future hydrogen development.
Explore the site’s many links to learn about the different ways you
can help protect our water and preserve our natural resources. Find out how
reducing waste and increasing recycling can contribute to cleaner air and less
harmful emissions. Learn more about the strong link that exists between a healthy
environment and our own health and well-being.
I encourage you to visit often. Travel the website’s many hills and
valleys. Find out more about what is happening, what is being planned and how
you can be a part of it.
We welcome your feedback any time. Let’s keep our province green and
growing!
Jim Rondeau
Minister, Manitoba Science, Technology, Energy and Mines
