OFA set to host annual regional meetings across Ontario

OFA’s 2023 regional meeting season is nearly upon us. For the next three months, meetings will be held across the province, engaging our members in discussions about the highest priority issues, unique opportunities to get involved.

On the fence about attending? Here are three reasons why we welcome OFA members to get involved and attend these meetings:

Learn more about your local Federation – Find out about the various activities, events and programs your Federation is involved in to help promote agriculture in your local community.  Meet your local provincial director and member service representative for OFA updates.

Bring your voice – Regional meetings offer an open space for members to bring forward questions, concerns, issues and priorities to your local Federation leadership and to the OFA.

Vote for leadership and representation – Eligible voting members will elect local representatives for positions at the OFA Policy Advisory Council, and as delegates to the 2023 Annual General Meeting, November 21-22, Toronto.

As a grassroots organization, we value the input of our members. With a unified voice, our local Federations and provincial OFA will continue to help us make a difference in growing, supporting and shaping Ontario’s dynamic agriculture industry.

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
