The Ontario Stewardship program is a very small program in terms of government spending, at less than 5 million, yet it provides huge returns for Ontario.
Councils on average lever $5 for every $1 they receive from the Ontario government. All of this money is used for stewardship initiatives that advance government priorities, such as species at risk, clean water forests and maintaining healthy communities.
The intangible benefits of having of approximately 16,000 volunteers take part in more than 600 Ontario Stewardship projects every year, advancing government priorities within their communities, are incalculable.
