Walk the bridge Celebrating Canada’s Longest Swinging Bridge The Souris Swinging Bridge has become one of Maitoa’s fifty-four Star Attractions. The first bridge was built in 1904 by Squire Sowden who wanted to improve access to town from his land on the east-side of the river in order to make it more attractive for potential buyers. Since 1904, the swinging bridge has been reinforced, rebuilt, and seen many pranks and antics performed on it over the years. In 2005, it was featured on a Canadian postage stamp. The current bridge was completed in August of 2013 and the new design has allowed Souris to once again reclaim the title of haig Caada’s logest sigig suspesio bridge boasting 604 feet. Spanning the Souris River, it is a popular backdrop for eautiful photogaphs that help aptue life’s important milestones such as a graduation, wedding, or a family reunion. The bridge was recently featured in a video commercial for the Real Canadian Superstore! Celebrating 114 years since its original construction, the Sigig Bidge eais ou to’s ost faous landmark. It is truly a beautiful sight to appreciate any time of year! Follow the blue and yellow Star Attraction signs located throughout Souris to help locate the bridge.

Through support from the Province of Manitoba Tourism Development Fund, the bridge exhibit includes an interactive 65 SMARTBOARD, which includes touchscreen videos and images. The Plum Museum, now part of Travel Manitoba Visitor Services Network, this structure was first erected in 1883 and is Souis’ oldest remaining public building. Originally St. Luke’s Anglican Church, it was decommissioned in 1989 and later moved to its current location where it was restored to its original Victorian colours of plum and chocolate brown. Here you’ll find tourism information, souvenirs, light refreshments, and more than likely, a muster of peacocks! In the off-season, the building can be rented for private functions. Also makes a great place for a wedding!

  • Water Quality Report
    Central Assiniboine Watershed Integrated Watershed Management Plan - Water Quality Report October 2010 Central Assiniboine Watershed – Water Quality Report Water Quality Investigations and Routine Monitoring: This report provides an overview of the studies and routine monitoring which have been undertaken by Manitoba Water Stewardship’s Water Quality Management Section within the Central Assiniboine watershed. There are six long term water quality monitoring stations (1965 – 2009) within the Central Assiniboine Watershed. These include the Assiniboine, Souris and Cypress Rivers. There are also ten stations not part of the long term water quality monitoring program in which some data are available for alternate locations on the Assiniboine, Souris, and Little Saskatchewan Rivers. The Central Assiniboine River watershed area is characterized primarily by agricultural crop land, industry, urban and rural centres. All these land uses have the potential to negatively impact water quality, if not managed appropriately. Cropland can present water quality concerns in terms of fertilizer and pesticide runoff entering surface water. There are a number of large industrial operations in the Central Assiniboine Watershed, these present water quality concerns in terms of wastewater effluent and industrial runoff. Large centers and rural municipalities present water quality concerns in terms of wastewater treatment and effluent. The tributary of most concern in the Central Assiniboine watershed is the Assiniboine River, as it is the largest river in the watershed. The area surrounding the Assiniboine River is primarily agricultural production yielding a high potential for nutrient and bacteria loading. The Assiniboine River serves as the main drinking water source for many residents in this watershed. In addition, the Assiniboine River drains into Lake Winnipeg, and as such has been listed as a vulnerable water body in the Nutrient Management Regulation under the Water Protection Act.

Minister’s Message From the grasslands in the southwest to the Taiga Shield lakes of the north, we in Saskatchewan are blessed with richly diverse ecosystems. Over the past few decades, we have come to understand more about the nature of these ecosystems, and how we rely on them to support our economy and our overall quality of life. We have also increased our understanding of the responsibility we bear to assess, protect and improve our province’s environmental health, in balance with our social and economic priorities, for the good of present and future generations. We face a number of challenges regarding our water’s quality and availability. It is up to Saskatchewan people to determine how we will meet these challenges. The Saskatchewan government has taken a leadership role in assessing, protecting and managing our source waters by addressing them at the watershed level. The State of the Watershed Reporting Framework represents a critical step in understanding our relationship with Saskatchewan’s watersheds, as well as our role as stewards of our environment. For the first time in Saskatchewan, this framework will integrate the information collected by numerous provincial and federal agencies and present it in an easily understandable, technically sound report- card format.
