Purpose

The Weather Keeper Program is in partnership with the Centre for Earth Observation Science at the University of Manitoba, to collect and monitor atmospheric data across the National Homeland. This monitoring network works closely with Red River Métis Citizens and MMF Locals, who live on and/or near waterbodies, to maintain meteorological stations for real-time climate data collection, which is then displayed on the MMF Webpage. Currently, there are weather stations in St.Laurent (Interlake Region) and Dawson Bay (The Pas Region).

This program will provide information on land-use changes and variability in weather, along with insight into the local and regional effects of climate change. If you would like more information on the program and/or interested in housing a weather station, please contact our Métis Climate Monitoring Coordinator, Phoenix Combe, at phoenix.combe@mmf.mb.ca

Data Quality

Data level 0 (raw data). Weather station towers are not the standard height as weather towers operated by Environment and Climate Change Canada. 

  • Wind and gust speeds reported at St Laurent Li Taan Aen Staansyoon indicate speeds that would be felt nearby on the lake only when the wind blows from SSW through W to NNW. The anemometer is sheltered from the full force of the wind by trees in other directions.
  • Wind and gust speeds reported at Dawson Bay Li Taan Aen Staansyoon indicate speeds that would be felt nearby on the lake only when the wind blows from SE. The anemometer is sheltered from the full force of the wind by trees and a building in other directions.
