The Weather Keeper Program is a collaboration between the Manitoba Métis Federation and the Centre for Earth Observation Science at the University of Manitoba, to support the collection of atmospheric data in the Manitoba Great Lakes region. This program is a co-developed, and jointly managed, monitoring network that will provide information on how the Manitoba Great Lakes respond to land-use changes and variability in weather. This program also gives insight into the local and regional effects of climate change.

Ongoing lake, river, and watershed sampling programs will be supplemented with new automated meteorological stations operated by Manitoba Métis citizens. Citizens maintain the weather stations and provide regular status reports about the sites. Online data dashboards show the current weather conditions and provide a place to download or map additional data using the online dashboards.

Details for the licence applied can be found using the Licence URL link provided with each dataset. 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. Wind and gust wind speeds are measured 3 m above the ground surface. Environment Canada and Manitoba Department of Agriculture weather stations report faster speeds because they are recorded on higher, 10 m towers.
