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 Hagarty 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 Hagarty. "It will provide a focussed and strong rural voice, and at the same time, offer organi- zations new and creative opportuni- ties to work together." Hagarty is well known for his work as the former Director of Rural Organizations . and Services, Branchof the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and 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 ruial development, and teaching at the University of Guelph. The Council will have up to 40 seats representing a cross-section of rural sectors within the categories of economics and infrastructure; resources and the environment; community and human services; government; and members at large.
