2025 Federal Election Toolkit

With the 2025 federal election date of April 28th, 2025 quickly approaching, we need to build awareness of the current challenges and opportunities facing the Canadian and Ontario beef sectors.

This toolkit has been put together to assist Ontario farmers and industry representatives during engagements with federal candidates on sector priorities, prior to the election.

Every conversation between farmers and local candidates increases the awareness of the beef and broader agri-food sector and our associated opportunities and challenges.

Producers are encouraged to take the time to reach out to local candidates of all stripes through attendance at all-candidate meetings and/or one-on-one meetings and other riding and community events. Additionally, producers can engage candidates through social media, email, written letters or phone calls. Reaching out and building a connection with local candidates will provide us a better understanding of each political party’s plans and commitments for agriculture in the future.
