It moved from offices in Zorra Township hall.
It marks another step in the evolution of the organization whose first office was in the home owned by Elbert van Donkersgoed, its policy director, in Drayton and offices with Semex near Elora.
Hosting our first board meeting in the newly purchased building is a testament to our commitment to continue supporting our members and advocating for policies that reflect Christian values, ensuring that Ontario’s Christian farmers have a strong voice at the table, now and in the future, the CFFRO said in a news release.
“As we continue to settle into this new space, we are eager to welcome members and the community,” said president Ed Scharringa.
“This office represents more than just a workspace; it’s a meeting place for Christian farmers to come together, discuss critical issues, and advance the Christian voice in agriculture.”
Tom Tavani, CFFO general manager, said, “The location of our new office is ideal. The previous tenants, Zorra Township, invested heavily in high-quality internet capacity, which allows us to stay connected with our members across the province.
“We’ve hosted hybrid meetings in the past with great success, but this new setup, combined with our investment into a hybrid-style meeting room, will elevate our ability to engage with members remotely in even more effective ways.”
