Call to Action: Join the campaign!

In just over a year, Ontario voters go to the polls (June 7th, 2018) and we’re getting ready! We are launching a campaign to ensure all provincial politicians, whatever their affiliation, make the preservation of our valuable farmland and source waters a #1 election priority. For our food security going forward, for the health and enjoyment of our children and their children, this is an issue that cannot wait any longer. NDACT chair, Alia Jalbert, tells the Orangeville Citizen:

“If there is one thing that has been a human characteristic throughout history, it is ingenuity; the easy path, in many ways, is to take over nice, cleared land for developments, but I am certain, as witnessed in Europe where there is much more reluctance to convert farmland into suburbs, that when that route is removed other ideas will emerge.”

 If you have unbridled enthusiasm for organizing events or are an experienced writer or communicator, we would love to have your experience and energy on our team. Planning meetings will be held once a month, in North Dufferin, and can be attended via telephone.

For more details (or if interested enclose a brief resume), please email Vice Chair of the North Dufferin Agricultural and Community Taskforce, Brian Bell at  bw.bell@sympatico.ca

We look forward to working with you!
