Cunningham had two readings,
“Beatitudes of our Mothers” and
“How old is Grandma”.
Members had a very successful
auction sale of baking, plants and
knitting. As usual, Dorothy
Schneider was a very humorous
auctioneer and had everyone
bidding. Christena had a very
delicious lunch of date squares, tea
and coffee, after which a social
half hour was spent before going
home.
CFFO helps fill bus for
agricultural education

operations incorporate today’s
technology. However, with
thoughtful and determined education
initiatives we can change this trend.
The next generations of citizens will
need to be taught about food
production without actually
experiencing life on the farm but
realizing this is where their food
comes from.
The goal for all of agriculture
should be that when a person bites
into any type of food they should be
able to know and understand how the
food came onto their plate. They
should generally know how it is
produced and be sure of its safety
and its health quality. Canada has a
solid record on both of these
qualities and Ontario is a great place
to eat good food.
It is important for today’s food
producers, along with those that
process, package and distribute food,
to be willing to build a relationship
with their customers. This is
something that Ontario farmers need
to continue to establish. A good way
is in the classroom, so a trip to the
agricultural museum is a great place
to start. The agricultural museum
gives visitors an opportunity to see
and understand the progression of
Ontario and Canadian agricultural
history and how technology has
shaped and improved agriculture.
Informing today’s youth about
food production will provide our
society with a generation of adults
who value support for agriculture
and its work. With the support for the
Fill-a-Bus program the CFFO is
giving the opportunity for school
kids to become interested in food
production and to begin to
understand the business of
agriculture.
NEWS
FROM BELGRAVE Governing gone local
Staff and council members from North Huron Township, in hopes of reaching out to members
of their community that may find the distance to their regular Wingham-based council meetings
a barrier, hit the road to host their first council meeting of June in Blyth on June 4. The meeting
was held at the Emergency Services Training Centre. Council’s next meeting will be held at the
Belgrave Community Centre with the same hope. (Denny Scott photo)
Blyth BIA grants limited
votes to associates
Some crossed communication
wires were remedied during the
Blyth Business Improvement Area’s
(BIA) June 7 meeting.
When the organization’s
constitution was being drafted in
2011 the intent was to have certain
non-levied members be able to vote
including local churches, service
groups and the Blyth Festival.
This will allow organizations that,
while not technically considered
businesses from an assessment
standpoint, can benefit and add to
the commercial success of the
community to have a say in how the
BIA is run.
One member of the non-voting
associates (businesses from outside
of the BIA that pay an annual fee to
be a part of the organization) will
also have a vote.
Businesses that could be included
as non-voting associates include
local media outlets that service the
Blyth area as well as businesses that
are prevalent in Blyth but are outside
of the village’s official boundaries
such as Sparlings Propane and The
Old Mill on County Road 4.
