(Shawn Loughlin photo) County joins rural group Huron County Council is proceeding as part of the Producing Prosperity in Ontario plan, which hopes to speak in a united voice for the good of rural Ontario. Taylor Van Aaken of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture (HCFA) and Brent Royce from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) both spoke to council on the topic at council's April 11 committee of the whole meeting. The plan first came from the OFA and was then quickly adopted by many local agricultural federations. It sets out a number of priorities and goals for the farming community, but rural counties and municipalities have since seen that the OFA's goals align with theirs and have added their names to the growing list of supporters of the plan. Royce spoke to council, saying that rural Ontario is facing a number of challenges, including a lack of services, a lack of infrastructure, rising property taxes, school closures, a lack of available labour and limited opportunities for youth to remain in rural communities. The plan calls for distributed economic development that would help provide opportunity in rural Ontario and relieve the pressures of overcrowding in urban Ontario. The first pillar would be job creation. Strategic investments in infrastructure will, Royce said, create jobs in new enterprises, provide new opportunities for families and youth and spark investment in rural Ontario. The second step would be the creation of affordable communities. Through increased investment and job creation, Ontarians would realize home ownership and lifestyle opportunities, he said, and could find work in smaller and mid-sized communities. The third part of the plan would be local food and ecosystem protection, which would create a growing domestic agri-food sector that would secure access to high-quality, safe, local food and preserve farmland and sustainable stewardship practices. The plan would also include land use policies that would ensure that farmland remains protected. Royce said that the OFA has been seeking partners for the plan that would ensure that rural Ontario is speaking with a united voice. He said they were seeking support from municipalities, wardens, agri-food associations and commodity groups, economic development officers and academics to sign on and unite with the plan to speak to provincial decision -makers. Warden Jim Ginn said that both the Western and Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucuses and Huron County Council had joined the group. Speaking with a united voice, he said, will improve the chances that rural Ontario will be heard, especially in an election year. Royce said that he appreciated the support, but that the plan would not be going away. He said it's a long- term vision to ensure that rural Ontario will be prosperous for generations to come.
