Northern Ontario Agri-Food Pavilion open at Royal Agricultural Winter Fair

The Northern Ontario Agri-Food Pavilion is once again showcasing Northern Ontario-produced agri-food products during the 2023 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

Opened on November 3, the 10-day event runs until November 12 at Exhibition Place in Toronto.

The Royal is the largest indoor agricultural and equestrian event in the world, drawing more than 300,000 visitors annually to experience the food, products and events.

The Northern Ontario Agri-Food Pavilion has been a major part of the fair for more than 20 years, providing a unique opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their products and services on an international stage.

Patty Hajdu, minister for FedNor, which sponsors the event, told BayToday that it's a good opportunity for Northern Ontario businesses to get exposure they wouldn't normally have the resources to achieve.
