Ottawa and Quebec provide financial assistance to Quebec’s sea buckthorn sector

The governments of Canada and Quebec support the deployment of the Quebec’s sea buckthorn sector’s communication plan.

Jean-Claude Poissant, Parliamentary Secretary to the federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay, and Caroline Simard, Member of the National Assembly for Charlevoix-Côte-de-Beaupré, on behalf of Laurent Lessard, Quebec Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, today announced a financial assistance up to $17,010 to the Association des producteurs d’argousier du Québec (APAQ) to organize a forum where attendees can take stock of current sea buckthorn production in order to be able to plan future development and marketing more effectively.

The financial assistance is being provided under the Quebec Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food’s Programme de développement sectoriel, as part of the Canada–Quebec Growing Forward 2 (GF2) agreement.

Video: Early Fall Colors | Scenic Ontario Road Trip!

All adventures must come to an end, but not without one more journey! Join The Wandering Shepherds as we say farewell to our cozy Calabogie cottage and take the scenic road trip home to Ewetopia Farms. Our first stop was a breathtaking hydroelectric generating station, framed by cliffs, rushing water, and brilliant fall leaves that seemed to have changed overnight. From there, we meandered along winding backroads through lakes and hills, soaking in the spectacular autumn scenery. This year, the colors seemed to arrive earlier than usual—perhaps due to the summer’s drought? Whatever the reason, it was an unforgettable display of Ontario’s fall beauty. Finally, our holiday drew to a close as we pulled back into Ewetopia Farms, ready to return to the sheep and our daily vlogs. But this trip reminded us how important it is to pause, explore, and appreciate the simple beauty around us.
