Provincial Event Announcements
After much thought, the JFAO exec has decided to officially postpone March Conference until March 2021. Due to the uncertainty of hosting events this summer, we have also made the decision to cancel the Ambassador's Banquet this year. Decisions regarding Autumn Profile, Sing Swing and the Ontario Young Farmers' Forum will be made at a later date.. The health and safety of our members, alumni, and their families is our top priority. JFAO is currently monitoring local, provincial, and national health updates and guidelines, and it is due to these factors we feel it is in the best interest of JFAO to postpone these events until a later date.
JF Event Guidelines
We at JFAO has always prided ourselves and our members as being force for good and leadership in the general rural population and across Ontario as a whole. While we understand that clubs are anxious to resume normal in-person activities, we recommend that clubs follow the guidelines outlined by their local health unit regarding social distancing and maximum gathering sizes.
