Cutting red tape to make it easier for agricultural and horticultural organizations

Ontario is working to reduce red tape for over 500 Ontario agricultural and horticultural organizations.

This fall, the Ontario government will introduce legislation that, if passed, would save organizations and their volunteers’ time and money by removing burdensome and outdated rules that regulate agricultural and horticultural societies.

“Fair boards and hort societies are essential in promoting fairs and beautifying small towns,” said Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Toby Barrett. “This riding is home to six fairs. It’s my hope this proposed legislation will make it easier for the volunteers who organize these shows.”
