NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

In Ontario, 25 per cent of First Nations communities are affected by a drinking water advisory.

As part of our commitment to truth and reconciliation, BFO has created a t-shirt fundraiser with the goal to raise $3,000. The proceeds from the sale of each shirt will be donated to Water First, which is an organization that works to help address water challenges in Indigenous communities in Canada through education, training and meaningful collaboration. Learn more about Water First HERE.

Please note: Shirts are $20 (adult) and $15 (youth) with no additional shipping charge if picked up at the BFO office or other arranged location (i.e. Outdoor Farm Show). To ensure we can provide the full donation amount to Water First, there is an additional charge to ship the shirts directly to your home or business as noted below. If you would like your shirt(s) shipped to you, please select that option and the number of shirts that will be shipped.
