Support Wetland Education 

Join us on February 27th, 2025 for the 29th Annual Minister's Dinner. The Minister's Dinner is an evening of networking with other Manitoba business leaders, fine dining, and a spectacular silent and live auction all to raise funds for wetland education. Last year's event raised over $225,000 for wetland environmental education. 

This event supports wetland education for Ducks Unlimited Canada at the Harry J. Enns Wetland Discovery Centre located at Oak Hammock Marsh. The Centre is a partnership between Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Province of Manitoba. The Centre has delivered wetland education programs to over a million youth onsite. We have also reached beyond our Centre to communities all over Manitoba and neighbouring provinces with our traveling education program and virtual studio. 

You can help us connect people with wetlands.  
Wetland Conservation starts with education!
