Stewardship Works! Workshop
Thirty-two representatives from funders, federal and provincial governments, and stewardship organizations met for a half-day workshop on May 23, 2007. Their task was to provide input into the draft Stewardship Works! core funding model proposed by the Stewardship Centre for BC in partnership with the Ministry of Environment.
The diversity of representation and expertise of participants made for some great discussions that are providing us with valuable information in developing the core funding model.
