The Ontario Commercial Rabbit Growers' Association (OCRGA) Industry Promotion Project is meeting its objectives thanks to an $18,000 grant from the CanAdapt Program. Five of eight project activities have been successfully completed. A cooked meat analysis has provided important nutritional information, which is being used for production promotion. The Association's participation in the 1998 Niagara Food Festival in Welland, was a great success. Well over 30,000 visitors attended, many of them sampling Ontario rabbit. Approximately 100 rabbit producers from across Ontario were on hand at the Ontario Rabbit Congress to hear opening remarks from Murray Calder, Member of Parliament for Dufferin-Peel- Wellington-Grey. This day-long event featured industry displays and guest speakers who provided a wide variety of information to current and potential producers. Distribution of the new OCRGA promotional pamphlets by The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has raised awareness for the OCRGA across Ontario Wheat Producers We are now ready to receive your '99 White Winter & Soft Red Winter Wheat and Barley Crops the province as evidenced by a significant increase in calls, letters and e-mail inquiries to the association's head office. The full colour posters and matching recipe folders produced as part of the project have been well received by processors, retailers and others involved in marketing Ontario rabbit. Work is currently underway on product development activities under the leadership of Abate Rabbit Packers of Arthur. Rabbit pieces, patties and sausage will soon be distributed to retailers with plans for future production capabilities well underway. Joan Farrow, co-ordinator of the project for OCRGA says the CanAdapt Program has made this an exciting year for the Ontario Commercial Rabbit Growers' Association and other small commodity groups like it. The Agricultural Adaptation Council is continuing to support alternative agriculture in Ontario on into 1999 with the new Small Projects Initiatives aimed at helping small agricultural organizations access funding of up to 80 per cent of a project's worth. Because of this support, the future for alternative agriculture in Ontario remains bright.
