TIMES -ADVOCATE
Applications accepted
for excellence program
TORONTO —
Innovators in the
province's agriculture
and food industry are
encouraged to apply for
awards under the
Premier's Agri -Food
Innovation Excellence
Award program, now
accepting applications
until Dec. 1.
The $2.5 million, five-
year program (in its
third year) was estab-
lished to recognize
innovators who con-
tribute to the success of
Ontario's agri-food sec-
tor.
The awards program
includes the Premier's
Award (up to $100,000),
the Minister's Award
(up to $50,000) and up
to 55 regional awards of
$5,000 each.
Program applications
must be received by
Dec. 1, and will be
reviewed by two inde-
pendent panels made
up of representatives
from across Ontario's
agri-food industry.
Additional information
and application forms
are available on the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs website
www.omafra.gov.on.ca/
english/premier_award/
index.html
"This awards program
is a great way to show-
case the wonderful
diversity of products
Ontario's farmers pro-
vide. By encouraging
more ideas and innova-
tions, we are helping to
build a stronger future
for this and the next
generation of
Ontarians," said Ontario
Premier Dalton
McGuinty.
New innovations and
ideas developed on the
farm are contributing to
local economies, boost-
ing the agri-food indus-
try and offering more
choices for the con-
sumer.
In 2006, the Premier's
Award for Agri -Food
Innovation Excellence
was established to rec-
ognize and foster inno-
vation in the agri-food
industry. The five-year,
$2 5 million program
(now in its third year)
encourages the develop-
ment of prosperity in
Ontario's rural commu-
nities and on farms by
recognizing innovations
that add value to exist-
ing products, create
jobs and drive economic
growth.
As many as 55 region-
al awards, valued at
$5,000 each, are pre-
sented each year. The
recipients of the
Premier's Award, of up
to $100,000, and the
Minister's Award, of up
to $50,000, are selected
from the regional win-
ners.
Individuals and/or
groups representing
agri-food businesses
and organizations can
submit applications. To
be eligible, at least one
of the applicants must
be a farmer (eligible to
obtain an Ontario Farm
Business Registration
number.) The innova-
tion must have been
developed and have
been in use on an
Ontario farm, or be in
the planning stages of
development with a
business plan towards
implementation. The
innovation must also
have the potential for
use on a broader basis
and demonstrate a posi-
tive effect on the agri-
cultural industry.
