Lake James is a lake located in Manitoba, Canada. It was named after James, Viscount Severn (now Earl of Wessex by courtesy) when his father Prince Edward visited the province's capital Winnipeg in June 2008.
Instead of a traditional gift usually given at events, two lakes in the province were named in honour of two children, James and Lake Louise after Louise.[1]
