Agriculture
Community
A community garden is in
the works for Egmondville.
Organizers hope the seed
grows and are open to all
ideas.
They aren't exactly sure
where it will all end but they
know where this garden will
go, behind the Van Egmond
House and between the
cemetery.
The notion for a "commu-
nity garden" was approved
by the Van Egmond
Foundation last Wednesday.
Members feel any extra veg-
etables could go to the needy
via the new food hank in
Seaforth, spearheaded by.
area clergy.
Milton Dietz says he has
no idea how big this garden
will end up being, but the
board wants input - all kinds,
for instance:
How many people are inter-
ested'?
What kind of expertise is
out there and would'garden-
ers be willing to share and
teach others how to grow?

How should it all be orga- with any extra veggies donat-

Residents of the Bluewater
Youth Centre have agreed to
cut grass.
and with what?

Canada's Farm Community
Important Enough to Count Twice
As a proud member of Canada's. farm '
community, May 14 is doubly important for you.
On May 14, farm operators across Canada are
required to complete a Census of Agriculture
questionnaire, as well as a Census of
Population form.
Why is the Census of Agriculture important?
The Census of Agriculture is the backbone
of Canada's agricultural statistics program. It
provides valuable information on the agri-
culture industry, from the county/township/
rural municipality level to the national level.
How is the information used?
Census of Agriculture data provide the back-
ground to support producers' lobbying
efforts to legislators and the public, and to
defend agricultural interests in international
trade negotiations.
Why is the Census of Population Important?
Census information is important to your
community, and to you. In order for your
community to get funding for education,
health and social services, everyone must
be counted.
What do I do if I didn't receive a census form?
If you do not receive your Census of
Agriculture and/or Census of Population
form by May 14, please call 1 800 216-2299.
Do I have to fill out both census forms?
Yes. Farm operators across Canada must, by
law, complete a Census of Agriculture
questionnaire in addition to their Census of
Population form.
Remember, by law, your census
information is kept confidential.
Personal census information cannot be
given to anyone by Statistics Canada —
not banks, not another government depart-
ment, not another person.
If you have any questions, please call:
