Canada's Stewardship Agenda was published in 2002. The hallmark of an effective long term strategy is to embrace and build upon strengths, deal with weaknesses, move toward opportunities and use the energy of trends. The CSA was created as a guide for everyone in Canada with an interest in stewardship, not just as a government policy. Please visit the pages on this portal that provide information about the Agenda and our collective progress as stewards in the past decade. What do you think of our progress? What has been done really well, what could have been done better? What do we still need in the long term and short term? What are you in a position to do?
