The OFVGA has been very active over the past few months, presenting to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Standing Committee; developing and submitting its plan for the future – Horticulture: Healthy Benefits For All (click for pdf); and is hoping to establish a business case for a province-wide roll out of the school snack program.

The health benefits of fruits and vegetables are undeniable, and, as an organization, we intend to bring as much information on its vital health care component to the forefront of today’s consumers.

In addition, the OFVGA continues to be at the forefront of the “Buy Local, Buy Ontario, Buy Canadian” campaign. If you need a speaker or would simply like to inquire about programs and how they can be developed in your area, please contact Jamie Reaume <mailto:editor@thegrower.org>  or Alison Robertson <mailto:aroberston@ofvga.org>  (school snack program)  – and we’ll be glad to assist you in any way possible.
