Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO) recently held its second Wellness Dinner and Workshop series, marking another successful event in their ongoing efforts to support and engage the agricultural community. After the inaugural event in Chatham in November 2023, the latest gathering was in Sturgeon Falls, Northern Ontario. Our third event will be held in the Durnham Region, CFFO Central Ontario district, in November, 2024. More details to come!
The event attracted over 75 attendees, including local first responders of the Markstay-Warren Fire Dept, farmers, industry contacts, and CFFO partners, highlighting the broad support and interest in the initiative.
The diverse group of attendees included notable figures such as Glen Prior of FBC, and Cheryl Maloney and Andrew Munroe of Caldwell Securities Ltd. Their presence underscored the collaborative spirit of the event, bringing together various stakeholders within the agricultural sector. This engagement is vital for fostering a sense of community and shared purpose among those who play crucial roles in supporting and advancing agricultural practices in Ontario.
CFFO members, district board members, and staff were also in attendance, contributing to the event’s success with their insights and commitment. The workshop sessions provided valuable opportunities for learning and networking, focusing on wellness and sustainability within the farming community. By addressing these critical areas, the CFFO continues to demonstrate its dedication to enhancing the well-being of farmers and their families, ensuring they have access to the resources and support needed to thrive.
