About Us
The Conservation Council of Ontario is a provincial association of conservation leaders working together to support the voluntary transition to a conserver society in Ontario. Our members practice and support conservation, and are conservation leaders in their field of expertise.

As a Council, we promote networking, collaboration, and innovative ways to make conservation easy, affordable, and desirable.  Through our programs, we seek to be a catalyst for the positive social and economic change we see happening around us.

Around the world, all jurisdictions are talking of the need for sustainable development.  Few, if any, have an institution comparable to the Conservation Council of Ontario with a mandate to support a coordinated and collaborative voluntary transition strategy.

Project Staff and Interns
The Council regularly hires project staff and interns to help develop the organization and our programs.  If you've seen the updated Community Action Manual and program, that was largely due to the work of Julia Ford.  And our work on the Live Green Toronto city-wide network was given a tremendous boost by Annie He, an intern out of the University of Waterloo Co-op program.


Allies
We are also indebted to our allies and pro bono supporters, including Environmental Communication Options and Tenzing Communications, who assist us in promoting the Council and conservation.
