OFA’s 2020 Regional Meeting for members in Lambton County is fast approaching. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LFA and OFA are conducting this year’s regional meeting in a virtual format. The regional meeting offers the opportunity to engage in discussions about the issues and priorities impacting the agriculture and food industry, network with local federation directors and fellow members, and support your local agricultural community.
The virtual experience of attending the LFA regional meeting will prepare delegates for OFA’s 2020 Annual General Meeting in November that will also be hosted on a virtual platform. Transitioning to a virtual format ensures we protect the health and safety of our staff, directors and members.
