Ag Minister Opens Event Showcasing Ontario Agri-Food Sector

Government officials call it the largest agri-food trade show in Canada.

Ontario Agriculture Minister Jeff Leal officially opened the 2015 SIAL Canada trade show yesterday in Toronto.

The event showcases Ontario’s food and beverage manufacturers to businesses and visitors from around the world.

About 14 thousand visitors from around the world are expected to visit the event, which wraps up Thursday at the Direct Energy Centre.

The host duties for this Canadian event alternate between Toronto and Montreal each year.

OMAFRA says the value of Ontario’s food exports have increased more than 40 per cent from 2010 to 2014.
