2009 Conference on Canadian Stewardship - About US
 

The Conference on Canadian Stewardship is a cooperative effort between many of the leading stewardship organizations of Canada. These organizations currently operate stewardship programs dealing with tires, paint, non-alcoholic beverage containers, beer containers, electronics, packaging and printed materials and household special waste materials. A full listing of the organizations that have been participating in discussions to create a meaningful Conference on Canadian Stewardship appear below.

In order to develop the best possible agenda and attract the highest quality speakers and delegates to the conference a Steering Committee has been struck. The Steering Committee meets to set agendas, manage budgets and contracts, and organize the details of the event.
