If the donate a hog program is still in effect, how can the Cobalt, Coleman, Latchford and Area Food Bank get a pork donation? We received a donation from Matt Duke last year, but he no longer has pigs. Please contact chris.dave.bremner@gmail.com if you know who might donate in our area.

I think we underestimate Paul's role in rallying and empowering farmers to take hold of the communications agenda. On the University of Guelph campus, he was a guest speaker at our communications club meeting one evening, and left us with one overarching message: GET OUT THERE! He walked the walk. He represented a new generation of proactive farmers who realize board dialogue is essential for harmonious rural-urban relations. It's great that he's being honoured at the October 30 gala.
