Letters to the Editor
Walk for Memories a success
THE EDITOR,
On behalf of the Alzheimer
Society of Huron County, we’d like
to thank everyone involved for
walking with us in the 2013
Walk for Memories, locally
presented by Investors Group and
Retire-At-Home. More than 240
wakers came out with their
walking shoes on Jan. 26, 2013 in
steps to end Alzheimer’s disease. It
was wonderful to see so many
people out to support this important
cause.
Thanks to the generosity of our
sponsors and walkers we have raised
over $55,000. We are grateful for all
the support to achieve our goal.
We’re accepting online donations
until Feb. 28 at
www.walkformemories.ca – walker
name Alzheimer Society Huron
County. If you have friends, family
or colleagues who missed the
deadline for donating to the walk,
please let them know there’s still
time.
Without the loyal support of our
committed volunteers, our valued
sponsors, exceptional efforts of
each and every walker and the
generosity of Huron County this
success would not be possible.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Brittany Williams,
Acting Events Co-ordinator
Alzheimer Society of Huron
County.
Thompson pleased with turnout
Continued from page 15
Conservative party launched two
white papers, Paths to Prosperity—A
Fresh Start for Children and Youth
and Paths to Prosperity—From
Welfare to Work, aimed as a platform
for discussion on the direction of
social services delivery in Ontario.
Thompson and Pettapiece invited
McKenna and Barrett, and
individuals from the across the
health care sector to come together
for a frank discussion about how
government can better deliver social
service programs.
“I am pleased with the number of
people who wanted to come out and
have their voices heard on social
service delivery in our community.”
said Thompson. “There were many
common themes come out of the
evening, including the need for
flexibility for programs to be
delivered differently in rural areas
than in urban and the need to be
sensitive to transportation barriers. It
was also a great networking
opportunity for everyone who
attended."
Since being elected in 2011,
Thompson has been meeting with
social service providers from across
Huron-Bruce, but used the meeting
as an opportunity to bring different
parts of the sector together to discuss
improvements that can be made with
social services delivery.
“I think it is really important for
everyone to be in a room together
and have an open forum to discuss
what is most important, and how
they can play a role,” said
Thompson. “I was especially
pleased to partner with Randy to
host Jane and Toby here in
Wingham. The critics provided us
with the background and framework
for a progressive path forward. They
were quite impressed with
the quality of open and frank
dialogue.”
Huron County ousts Perth as top pork producerHuron County nipped PerthCounty as the top producer of pork
in Ontario in 2012, Teresa Van Raay,
Zone 1 director for Ontario Pork
reported to Huron County Pork
producers at their Jan. 30 annual
meeting.
Huron’s 257 pork producers
shipped 920,000 hogs last year,
about 20 per cent of all hogs
marketed in Ontario, Van Raay told
70 producers and industry
representatives at the meeting in
Seaforth where she and Amy
Cronin, fellow zone director andchair of Ontario Pork, gave theirboard report.Province-wide the number ofproducers continues to decline.
Currently there are 1,644 producers
in Ontario. There were 20,160 in
1980. Still, the number of pigs being
marketed remains about the same at
4.9 million.
The flow of pigs being exported
out of Ontario has been redirected
from the U.S. to Quebec, she said.
Cronin said shipments to the U.S.
will hopefully increase as the U.S.
responds to a ruling from the World
Trade Organization that its
compulsory Country of OriginLabeling (COOL) legislation haddiscriminated against Canadian andMexican producers. The U.S. hasuntil May 23 to respond. “We want
them to change the legislation and
be able to access the market [the way
we could before COOL],” Cronin
said.
On the government relations front,
Cronin said she was disappointed
when she heard that the Ontario
government was going to cap the
payout of the Risk Management
Program, an assistance plan Ontario
Pork had worked hard on along with
the grains and oil seeds producers,
sheep and veal producers. With thechange, it isn’t the same program asin 2012, she said, but she felt it wasstill a good program.Meanwhile on the federal level,
there have been significant changes
in support programs that will not be
good for pork producers. The Agri-
Recovery portion of the federal
program doesn’t seem to work for
pork producers, she said. Meanwhile
there are reduced limits in how much
producers can put into the AgriInvest
program.
Van Raay explained that OntarioPork is starting a new fee which willcharge 20 cents for each grower pigbeing exported from Ontario. Theidea has always been that if there
was a charge for small pigs, then the
$1 per pig charge for market hogs
should be reduced, she said.
However Ontario Pork has decided
to wait for three months after the
inauguration of the program to
assess the costs of collecting the fee,
before deciding how much to reduce
the current levy.
