Eastern Georgian Bay Stewardship Council

Tell me and I forget.
Show me and I remember.
Involve me and I understand. -- (Anon.)

The EGBSC is part of the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Ontario Stewardship Network, consisting of over 40 councils throughout central and southern Ontario and now in the process of expanding to the north. The Council’s goal is to be an effective facilitator of community participation and voluntary efforts that foster the establishment of healthy, productive and self-sustaining natural ecosystems.

The EGBSC comprises Georgian Bay from Severn Sound to the French River delta and adjoining geographic townships inland. Our Council mandate is broad, covering all stewardship aspects of land, air and water resources. Nonetheless, our Council area is primarily water-based and we have a keen interest in fisheries rehabilitation and management. We consider this our niche within the environmental community. The foundation of our projects is cooperative partnerships with the many government, conservation, private and community groups that share our interest and commitment to resource stewardship.

Key council projects are highlighted in the Work Plans section.		Other past and present council projects can be found in the Documents section.
