There is a new force moving in
Ontario's agricultural and rural
circles these days called the
Ontario Rural Council. It's mandate
is to "act as a catalyst for rural
dialogue, collaboration and action"
to meet the needs and unite the
voices of rural Ontario.
After two years of planning, the
Ontario Rural Council was
launched April 6 at the inaugural
meeting held in Guelph. Jack
Ilagarty of Guelph was elected
chair, and Mary Robertson of
Norwich, has been selected as the
general manager.
"The formation of the Ontario
Rural Council is a milestone in
rural development for Ontario,"
said Ilagarty. "It will provide a
focused and strong rural voice, and
at the same time, offer
organizations new and creative
opportunities to work together."
Hagarty is well known for his
work as the former director of rural
organizations and services branch
of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs. He played a key role in the
development of the Advanced
Agricultural Leadership Program.
In more recent years, as a private
consultant, he has been involved in
international agricultural and rural
development, and teaching at the
University of Guelph.
