Stewardship Zone Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: The Ontario Stewardship Program divides the province into four administrative regions or zones. Any given Stewardship Council will fall into one of these zones. Boundaries between adjacent Ontario Stewardship (OS) zones will also coincide with adjacent OS Council boundaries. This data set is a polygon coverage that can be used to identify the location of Stewardship Zones in Ontario.

  Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR): MNR Base Data: The majority of the Stewardship Zone boundaries conform to existing upper tier municipal boundaries. In some incidences other layers such as MNR district boundaries, provincial park boundaries, or water features were used to create the zone boundaries. Data collected on 13/08/2010.
