HALDIMAND—MPP Toby Barrett is encouraging local agriculture societies to apply for funding designed to help offset cancellation of fairs due to COVID-19.

Announced recently, the funding is part of an Ontario government investment of $5 million to help offset revenue losses for eligible agricultural and horticultural societies impacted by the necessary cancellation of fall fairs and exhibits during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
