Valuing Nature: Stewardship and Conservation in Canada 2006 will be held in Corner Brook July 5 – 8

A national conference aimed at drawing attention to conservation and stewardship issues will be held in western Newfoundland and Labrador this summer. Valuing Nature: Stewardship and Conservation in Canada 2006 will be held in Corner Brook July 5 – 8 at the Pepsi Centre and Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. Held every three years, Stewardship and Conservation in Canada is a national conference that has been attracting participants from a wide variety of backgrounds, including all levels of government, non-profit organizations, industry and Aboriginal groups from across Canada and beyond.

Building on successful conferences held in Victoria, British Columbia, in 2003, and Guelph, Ontario, in 2000, Valuing Nature: Stewardship and Conservation in Canada 2006 will chart and evaluate progress, as well as contribute to the evolution and implementation of the 10-year action plan conceived at Victoria.
Over the course of the three days, delegates will take part in themed sessions chaired by various sectors, including all levels of government, Aboriginals and youth. Themes for this year
