Today was a great day of filming. My partner, Chase Gouthro, and I, spent the day in beautiful Dunnottar, MB, shooting our main project for Television Documentary class: a documentary on lake shore rehabilitation.
We chose to do this project to basically, raise awareness. Many Manitobans don't know much about Lake Winnipeg, many rather, don't know the impact the lake has on the shoreline.
If you've ever been to the Interlake, you would know that specific areas along Number 9 Highway are cabin country. Hundreds upon hundreds of cabins line the shores of Lake Winnipeg and in turn, must withstand the force of the waters and the erosion of the land because of it. This is where lake shore rehabilitation comes in.
Lake shore rehabilitation is a term used to describe the process of reinforcing the wall of land that meets the shoreline in order to prevent erosion and withstand the force of the water.
In our documentary, we follow local gravel company, Eddie's Gravel Supply LTD., as they send their crews of workers to the shores of Lake Winnipeg to help homeowner's save their private property from the forceful waves.
Stay tuned for the completed documentary.
I look forward to viewing this documentary because our family is (are?) summer residents of the wonderful village of Dunnottar. Please go back and visit in the summer, when you can see how beautiful this place is in the summer and you can enjoy pizza and beer at The Emporium.
ReplyDeleteDon't you worry. I grew up in Winnipeg Beach and adore the area. It is a beautiful place and I cherish it very much. I can't wait for you to see the finished documentary. Til then!
