Ontario Pork News Brief
This is a daily briefing of current Ontario Pork initiatives and activities. Briefings will be emailed to those producers who have given Ontario Pork a valid email address and a compilation of these briefings will be sent out in hardcopy to all producers by regular post each week.
Whenever possible producers will be directed to website links and/or phone numbers for more information. This is to help reduce printing and mailing costs. If you require additional resources on an individual basis Ontario Pork will be pleased to provide them to you.

Government Reception at Queens Park
Ontario Pork hosted its annual government reception on Thursday, November 19th at Queen’s Park. Approximately 100 guests filtered through the event which included the Honourable Minister Dombrowsky, about 30-40 Members of Provincial Parliament and their staff representatives.
Ontario Pork Directors and some producers were on hand to discuss Ontario’s hog industry and the need for a level playing field across provinces and the development of a business risk management program that is comparable to Quebec’s ASRA program.
This message is also being carried by the Ontario Agricultural Sustainability Coalition (OASC) to illustrate to the Ontario government the importance of agriculture to Ontario’s economy and local food supply. Ontario’s domestic food market is being eroded by imports from other countries and provinces.
