within their communities through a video series, Paying it Forward, that will run throughout the conference. “We know the ag community is the backbone of their rural communities. Whether they are a volunteer fire fighter, on your local fair board, or a supporter of local sports teams, we are asking people to nominate key volunteers in their community that we can highlight,” says Tenuta. Stories for Paying it Forward can be shared to andrew.barrie@ontario.ca . REGISTER EARLY Without the need to plan travel and time away from home, a trend has developed for last minute registrations to virtual events. Tenuta says last year’s conference saw registrations spike dramatically just days before the event. And while they welcome registrants at any time leading up to the conference, they would like to see more people sign up earlier this year. Anyone who registers for the Ontario Agricultural Conference before December 12 will pay a reduced registration fee and be entered into a prize draw. Prizes include a Traeger smoker, a Chilly Moose cooler, and a Peavey Mart gift card. If you register online, you are also eligible to win a $100 Tim Card sponsored by SeCan.
