Bill 37 1998

An Act to designate a week of recognition for Ontario's Farmers

Preamble

Ontario's agriculture industry has always been and continues to be an

important part of the province's economy. Farming in Ontario dates back to

before the time that the first Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable John

Graves Simcoe, had the land in Upper Canada surveyed for the purpose of

establishing farming homesteads for the early Loyalist settlers.

The food and other agricultural products that sustain our lives are the

result of the skill, hard work and dedication of Ontario's farming

communities and farm families. It is important to recognize and acknowledge

this ongoing contribution by Ontario farmers to the quality of life of all

our citizens.

Thanksgiving Day is the annual day on which Ontarians express thanks for

the bounties of the harvest. It is appropriate at that time to celebrate and

acknowledge gratefully the work of Ontario farm families in providing

Ontarians with the food they eat and the agricultural products they enjoy at

Thanksgiving and throughout the year.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the

Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Ontario Agriculture Week

1. The week beginning on the Monday immediately before

Thanksgiving Day in each year is proclaimed as Ontario Agriculture Week.

Commencement

2. This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal

Assent.

Short title

3. The

short title of this Act is the Ontario Agriculture Week

Act, 1998 .
