2011 Conference on Canadian Stewardship
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. The Steering Committee has benefited greatly from the addition of several major trade associations and organizations that have joined together to make the 2011 event the best agenda possible. A full listing of the organizations that have been participating in discussions to create a meaningful Conference on Canadian Stewardship appear below.
