Proclamation – Ontario Agricultural Week, October 6 – 12, 2024

“Whereas the week of October 6 to 12, 2024 is recognized as Ontario Agriculture Week; and

Whereas Ontario Agriculture Week is a time to celebrate food and farming across the province, and all of the farm families and producers who work tirelessly to provide an abundance of nutritious local food in Ontario; and

Whereas Ontario farmers proudly grow and produce food commodities for local and international markets; and

Whereas agriculture and food are the largest contributor to the economy of Northumberland County;

Now Therefore Be It Resolved That I, Warden Brian Ostrander, on behalf of Northumberland County Council, do hereby proclaim the week of October 6 to 12, 2024 as ‘Ontario Agriculture Week’ in Northumberland County and encourage all citizens to support Ontario farmers by buying locally grown products.”
