South Tobacco Creek Water Quality

The 73 square kilometer South Tobacco Creek (49°20’N, 98°22’W) watershed in southeastern Manitoba, Canada is a research basin with a multi-year record of in-stream and edge-of-field hydrochemistry data, recorded meteorological history, and a corresponding record of agricultural activities that includes five beneficial management practices, namely retention ponds, small reservoirs, minimum tillage, conversion to forage cropping, and riparian buffer strips. Extending back to 1992 and up to present day, monitoring has continued in South Tobacco Creek. The land use and water quality relationships gleaned from the intensive event-based water discharge, water chemistry, snow surveys, and soil chemistry monitoring programs and coupled detailed field-by-field documentation of the agricultural activities performed by the farmers in the watershed have been and continue to be the subject of much research. The monitoring program was established in the 1990s by the local watershed groups and increased substantially in 2004 with the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Watershed Evaluation and Beneficial Management Practices program and later as part of the Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative.

Manitoba Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Dashboard

A dashboard intended for the purpose of easily and efficiently displaying Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) sample data collected throughout the years. Displayed is species, season, and location specific information regarding sampling and sample submission.  
  
  This dashboard displays the results of sampling for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer, elk, moose, and caribou. Sampling for CWD has been ongoing since 1997; however, Manitoba only confirmed the first positive case of CWD on November 1, 2021. Since 2021 there have been a total of 30 positive cases across Manitoba, illustrating the need for extensive sampling and tracking of cervids. CWD is a fatal disease of the central nervous system of deer, elk, moose and caribou, members of the cervid (deer) family. The disease is caused by one or more strains of self-propagating proteins, called prions. The prions, once transmitted, begin to spread, first in the immune system (lymph nodes and tonsils) and later, in the brain, spinal cord, and other organs. There is no cure for CWD. It is always fatal, with animals dying typically within two to three years and sometimes, as long as five years or more from the time of infection.  The dashboard shows all species and season data since the confirmation of the first CWD case in Manitoba in 2021, as well as the number of positive and negative samples submitted. Hunters can also view the comprehensive list of all drop-off depots that accept CWD sample submissions. This dashboard was created by the Manitoba Wildlife Branch.

Algorithmic Impact Assessment - CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM)

CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management Program (CARM) is a multi-year transformation initiative that will aid the Government of Canada in protecting and growing $40 billion a year in revenue for Canadians. In fiscal year 2022–2023, the CBSA collected $39.7 billion in duties and taxes on imported goods.

The CARM project is modernizing and simplifying the accounting process related to imported goods, providing a more efficient means for Trade Chain Partners (TCPs) (e.g. importers, customs brokers, carriers, freight forwarders, customs bonded and sufferance warehouse operators, and duty free shop operators) and the CBSA to interact during the importation process and when accounting for commercial goods, and when corrections or amendments to accounting documentation are required.

The CARM System is a rule-based automated decision system, which uses automation to generate reports of potentially non-compliant transactions, using established risking rules; and calculates duties and taxes based on the goods being imported, according to the Customs Act. In all scenarios, human intervention, and overriding is possible, and established recourse processes continue to serve TCPs.

Acid Sensitive Lakes, Manitoba region

A total of 211 lakes were sampled in Manitoba, Canada in 2006 (Blocks A, B, C, and D) and 2009 (Block E) located on the Canadian Shield. These lakes were sampled to evaluate regional acid sensitivity and acidification status in potentially acid sensitive lakes. Lakes were visited in mid-September in expectation that fall overturn would have occurred thereby yielding mixed water-column samples. A visually defined, mid-lake point was selected in each lake during helicopter approach, and physical measurements were recorded. A two-litre bulk sample was collected from one metre below the surface. pH and specific conductivity were measured at the field laboratory, where the sample was then sub-sampled and processed (filtered, preserved, etc.) for chemical analysis. Samples were shipped on ice to the Great Lakes Forestry Centre located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada where analyses were completed as soon as possible (immediately for perishable nutrient parameters).

Supplemental Information


The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment. A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and associated health implications. Monitoring and surveillance programs provide the basis for making sound and effective public health and environmental health policies and interventions, as well as measuring the efficacy of control measures.


In support of the Chemicals Management Plan, monitoring and surveillance initiatives were established to support Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists, in collaboration with external partners and researchers, to advance our knowledge. This initiative has allowed the Government of Canada to increase its commitment to a number of existing monitoring initiatives, as well as to support new efforts.
