The Brussels Fall Fair is always an excellent opportunity for area showpersons to display what
they have in their fields at home. Cole MacPherson, left, triumphed at the show, being named
champion showman and bringing the reserve market calf to the show, while Mason Weber,
centre, was the show’s reserve showman and brought the champion market calf. Awarding the
two men was Brussels Fall Fair Ambassador Tiffany Deitner, who had plenty of hardware to
hand out that day. (Denny Scott photo)

By Peggy Brekveld,
Vice President,
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture
Earlier this year, the Ministry of
Economic Development,
Employment and Infrastructure
invited input on how to spend $15

densely populated areas of Ontario.
And in rural Ontario, these projects
often intersect with key agricultural
areas.
There are endless ways for how
and where this $15 billion
investment should be divided to
build up communities all across the
province. The OFA’s formal
submission to the Ministry of
Economic Development,
Employment and Infrastructure
contains two key parts: four guiding
principles for any new infrastructure
project, and the OFA’s specific
recommendations for how the
dollars should be allocated outside
the GTHA.
