Ontario Pork AGM – Postponed until further notice

Mar 16, 2020

GUELPH – In light of ongoing concerns related to COVID-19 coronavirus, Ontario Pork has made the decision to postpone its annual general meeting, scheduled for March 24 and 25, 2020 in Guelph, Ontario.

The decision to postpone was made out of an abundance of caution, based on information provided by public health officials and a growing number of travel restrictions affecting some members of our industry.

Hotel reservations made with the Delta in Guelph as part of the Ontario Pork event will be automatically cancelled.

We will continue to monitor the situation, and provide an update on a rescheduled date as soon as it can be confirmed.

COVID-19 and Ontario’s swine industry

At this point, public health officials advise that COVID-19 presents a low risk to most Canadians, and we are not anticipating a significant impact on the extended swine industry. We will continue to monitor the situation and will work with partners across the industry to manage any potential disruption.

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.
