What is interesting is that this report makes some very strong connections between biodiversity, climate change and ecosystem services which have not really gotten much air time in previous legacy documents from this national process. It will be very interesting to see if the recommendations get acted upon.

In preparation for this summer's National Stewardship and Conservation Conference http://www.stewardship2009.ca/admin/contentx/default.cfm?PageId=10722 , a report has been prepared entitled The State of Stewardship in Canada. Received comments will inform the plenary discussions at the conference, and will guide the direction of the resulting strategic Stewardship Road Map.
This report can be found at the conference website: http://www.stewardship2009.ca/admin/contentx/default.cfm?PageId=10722

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.
We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
