Abstract

This Act has 14 sections and regulates the ecological reserves in Manitoba. The Lieutenant Governor in Council may establish and maintain a system of ecological reserves in the province, which shall be set aside in the interests of the people of Manitoba (sect. 2). Section 3 sets out the purpose of these reserves. The minister may within any reserve implement such measures, programs, projects, undertakings or things as in the minister's opinion are likely to achieve these purposes (sect. 4(1)). Section 5 deals with acquisition of land, and section 6 states that no person shall deface or remove reserve signs. Section 8 outlines prohibitions with exceptions.
