Junior Farmers is an organization
for youth and is run by youth from
ages 15 to 29 (as of Jan. 1). The
focus is on developing youth across
Ontario to become leaders and
volunteers in their community. Even
with community projects and
meetings, Junior Farmers is one of
the greatest social groups in Ontario.
Where else can you meet other youth
from across Ontario, compete
against them in volleyball, square
dancing or in a blind wheelbarrow
race?
One of our upcoming events in
March Conference at the Ramada
Inn, London. The event is held
annually switching from east and
west in Ontario using Guelph as the
centre point.
The event this year is being held
from March 8 - 10. The theme at
March Conference is “Just Say Yes”.
At March Conference the group has
a provincial directors’ meeting
which is one representative from
each club and the executive discuss
the business locally from each club
and provincially.
On Friday, there are international
and inter-provincial interviews in the
morning. This year the group is
offering nine exchanges from Prince
Edward Island to the United
Kingdom to Germany. In the
evening, they will be having the
annual general meeting discussing
policies, new nominations for
executive and meeting other
members across the province.
On Saturday and Sunday, there
will be motivational speakers about
saying yes to every opportunity
because you never know where it
might take you. Daniel Steep will be
teaching about agriculture using
comedy, music and illusions. Why
not try your hand at Go for the
Gold – Junior Farmer’s style where
we will have questions regarding
cash crops, dairy and the group’s
showcasing members’ talents in
synchronized swimming.
Saturday afternoon, they will be
picking the 2013 provincial charity.
The 2012 charity was Farm and
Food Care and members raised
awareness to the local community
and provincially for this non-profit
organization. Saturday evening there
is a banquet and dance honouring
past executive, alumni and
showcasing talents through
scrapbooks, new articles and
outstanding members.
Just say yes to March Conference
this year. If you would like to
