The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is encouraging its 200,000 members to do their part in support of the Family Farm Tribute on Jan. 16 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. “We don’t expect everyone to pack their bags and head for Toronto,” said CFA President Bob Friesen. “If people are in a position to attend the Tribute, then we would encourage them to buy tickets and go. If they have family or friends close to Toronto, we want them to be sure they know about this event and encourage them to attend. Otherwise, people should plan to watch the Tribute on television and tell as many of the people they know to do likewise.” The Family Farm Tribute is an “awareness-raising” event spear­ headed by Toronto MP Dennis Mills. Mills wants to increase the profile of the agriculture industry and farming issues among urban Canadians. The event will start at 1 p.m. with a performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and run until 5 p.m. with performances by Gordon Lightfoot, Burton Cummings, Big Sugar, Prairie Oyster, Michael Burgess, Ronnie Hawkins, and oth­ ers. “The purpose of this Family Farm Tribute is to raise awareness and appreciation of Canada’s family farms,” said Mills. “By doing this, we hope to energize the will of the nation to reaffirm the overall sup­ port necessary for farming families to prosper in this country. Right now there aren’t enough people out there who realize how much farmers mean to this country, how much they contribute to our prosperity, and how much some of them are hurting right now.” CBC Newsworld plans to devote its entire Jan. 16 broadcasting day’s programming to Canadian farmers and the agriculture industry. The Family Farm Tribute will be broad­ cast nationally, along with programs featuring farmers, their families and the communities they support. Along with an impressive lineup of entertainers, visitors to the Air Canada Centre will have access to numerous displays and exhibits. The goal, again, to provide urban Canadians with information about agriculture and farming. “The Family Farm Tribute repre­ sents a wonderful opportunity for farmers and their families to tell the rest of Canada about them­ selves and what they are going through,” said Friesen. “The more people who buy tickets to the Tribute or who watch CBC Newsworld, the better. There is no better incentive for a repeat of this kind of event than a full stadium and high ratings.” Tickets for the Tribute are priced at $10, $15, and $20. They are avail­ able from the Air Canada Centre box office at (416) 870-8000 until show time.
