MPP HURON -MIDDLESEX
The year 1988 is shaping up to be
a special one for Ontario's agricul-
ture and food community.
On January 1, 198&, the Ministry
of Agriculture and Food will begin
celebrating its 100th anniversary --
and we are planning a number of
special events to underline the
achievements in the agri-food sector
during the past century.
During the year, we will high-
light the economic and social role
the agricultural and food industry
continues to play in the province.
The agri-food sector is a $15 bil-
lion industry that employs one in
five ONTARIANS. Ontario's
73,000 farms export close to $2 bil-
lion of food and agricultural prod-
ucts annually as well as supply a
hungry domestic market.
Today, one farmer feeds more than
90 people. At the turn of the centu-
ry, one farmer produced food for 12
people.
That is a remarkable increase in
efficiency and it's a tribute to the
people of Ontario. It has taken a lot
of research and development, plan-
ning, technical advances, quality and
health controls, and hard work to
make that type of gain in efficien-
cy.
The Ministry of Agriculture and
Food has played an important role
in these advances through research,
technical advice, education, market-
ing assistance, establishing quality
standards, and financial incentives.
Education funding
Huron County Board of Education
has been awarded funding by the
Ministry of Education for a project
aimed at reducing the dropout rate
from ichoof. As part of a $600,000
allocation awarded to 12 different
projects, Minister of Education
hack i 0tfif><g3
Farm efficiency
Chris Ward cited Huron as eligible
for S50,000 for their project which
is designed to meet the individual
needs of high-risk students by pro-
viding links with various agencies.,
local business and industry, and al-
tcrnative. programming.
I am pleased with these initiatives
to assist boards in lowering the
dropout rate across the province by
stimulating students' interest in
school and increasing their desire to
complete their studies. Huron
County should be proud to have
been chosen out of a total of 75
submissions which the Education
Ministry received in connection
with the Student Retention and
Transition Project.
Grant to Riding
I have recently been notified by
my colleague Minister of Housing
Chaviva Hosek that the town of
Clinton will be receiving a grant of
$154,000 under the Retirement
Community Demonstration Project
program to assist in covering costs
of providing "hard services" such as
roads or sewers for a new senior cit-
izen's retirement centre in the north
end of town. "
100 years young
Help us celebrate 1988!
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food is 100 years young! Lots
of accomplishments, lots of chang-
es! 1988 is a year to honour signifi-
cant achievements in the agricultu-
ral industry and to increase Ontario's
awareness of the bertefits the agri-
cultural and food industry has had
on the economic and social life of
this province.
We would like to kickoff the year
by honouring the new Year's baby
in each of the five county hospitals
as one of our events.
We would also like to invite you
to the Clinton O.M.A.F. office dur-
ing the week of January 4-8 for a
celebration. Cake and hot cider will
be served. Everyone is welcome!
