What happened

Manitoba is reporting avian influenza (HPAI) cases in wild birds and poultry, with detections ongoing since mid-September. The risk is heightened due to the fall migration season, which brings large numbers of ducks, geese, and other wild birds through Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. While cases have been confirmed in Manitoba, officials suggest it is likely other Prairie provinces will soon report detections.
