How are you helping create a conserver economy and a conserver society in Ontario?

Your programs and resources are part of Ontario's conservation movement.  Take a page to tell us about your best campaigns, projects, services, or products.  We will compile these pages into a "We Conserve" workbook and provide you with an analysis of how all these activities fit into our template for an effective conservation: engage, advise, and support.

Submissions are still being accepted up to Friday November 28.

Send files, preferably in MS Word format to Chris Winter, care of The Conservation Council of Ontario.

 

Who can submit pages?
This offer is open to all attendees of the Conservation Summit -- NGOs, community groups, cultural organizations and agencies, first nations, faith groups, companies, business associations, professional associations, institutions, municipalities, and provincial and federal ministries and agencies.  If you are attending as an individual, you may wish to submit a page on behalf of an organization you know.

Do I have to attend the summit to submit a page?
Strongly recommended, but we will also include significant programs and resources from groups that are unable to attend, if requested. 

Can I submit more than one page?
Yes.  If you have good projects, services, or products to share and you can't fit them onto one page, please do so.  Just try to conserve paper.  You don't need to include everything, but you do want to profile your best activities.

COMING SOON

We'll keep track of who has submitted pages for the workbook.

Individuals

 

Can policy groups submit pages?
Yes.  Our focus is on creating positive change.  Much of our emphasis with "We Conserve" is on outreach and support programs, but we recognize that any comprehensive conservation plan requires fiscal and regulatory support as well as voluntary measures.

Disclaimer
The workbook is intended primarily as a resource for the summit participants, and it will also be available as a pdf file on this website.  Inclusion in the workbook does not constitute an endorsement from the Conservation Council of Ontario.  We also reserve the right to edit or reject any submissions.
