ONTARIO GRAIN FARMER GRAIN TALK 19 District 6 supports Haldimand-Norfolk hospice project Grain Farmers of Ontario District 6 (Haldimand, Brant, Hamilton, and Niagara) supported the Haldimand–Norfolk hospice project through the Grain Farmers of Ontario Community Investment Program. Currently, there are no local hospice beds in the region, requiring families to travel outside the region to access hospice and palliative care services. This project will help address that gap by bringing compassionate, home-like care closer to home and ensuring individuals and their loved ones can remain in their community, surrounded by familiar faces and support. The new centre will include residential hospice beds, in-home outreach services, and expanded caregiver and community programs, strengthening end-of-life care options across the region. Grain Farmers of Ontario is proud to invest in initiatives that strengthen the health and wellbeing of rural communities across the province. Grain Farmers of Ontario – Corteva Farmer Leadership Program In February, 25 Grain Farmers of Ontario delegates and three emerging leaders from within the grain sector came together at Ivey Business School to strengthen their leadership skills, build connections, and grow as advocates for Ontario’s grain farmers through their participation in the Grain Farmers of Ontario – Corteva Farmer Leadership Program. The program is funded with support from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA). The program focuses on collaboration, negotiation, how to pitch your ideas, and public speaking skills. Participants from across all 15 Grain Farmers of Ontario districts were encouraged to work together in small group sessions and one-on-one learning activities, fostering a shared sense of purpose and connection. One of the goals of the program is to help create a strong, unified voice for our organization and the grain sector. Grain Farmers of Ontario would like to extend its appreciation to both Corteva and OMAFA for their ongoing commitment to fostering agricultural leadership and supporting the growth of future leaders in Ontario. • Photo: The Grain Farmers of Ontario - Grain Farmers of Ontario Leadership Program included 25 delegates and three emerging leaders in Ontario's grain sector.
