horticultural societies across the province over the past two years. “We know the pandemic has been tough on our local agricultural and horticultural societies with many annual events being cancelled or postponed,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha LakesBrock. “This funding will help provide additional support for these organizations so we can get back to enjoying the community events and activities we all miss.” There are two streams included in this round of funding: • Base Support Funding will be issued to all eligible Agricultural and Horticultural Societies through funding payments of $1,000 as a means of supporting their continued incorporation and activities. • Hardship Funding for eligible Agricultural Societies will provide additional support which will be based on reported gate revenues from 2019. This will help off-set operating losses, liabilities, and fixed overhead costs related to land and buildings. “Ontario’s agricultural and horticultural societies have long-enriched communities throughout the province and we look forward to them continuing to make significant contributions, from main street beautification projects to hosting the long-standing tradition of agricultural fairs, throughout the province in 2022,” said Lisa Thompson, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
