The Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association (OFVGA) is sharing the latest on the More than a Migrant Worker (MTAMW) initiative and other supports for the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program. 

Advertisement in LCBO’s Food and Drink Magazine

An advertisement about workers in the grape sector is in the Spring edition of Food and Drink Magazine, available at the LCBO. The ad is titled: “Behind every glass of Ontario wine, there’s an incredible story.” The copy refers to the more than 20,000 workers who come every year to work on Ontario’s fruit and vegetable farms. 

Outreach to MPPs

Following the recent Ontario election and the appointment of several new MPPs,  OFVGA sent a MTAMW update letter to all MPPs – both to introduce them to the initiative (if they’re not already familiar) and to offer opportunities for follow-up conversations. The same approach will be taken with Ontario’s newly elected MPs in the near future. In the past, similar work has resulted in many meetings and introductions with several elected officials.
