The Province is providing $10 million dollars to farms and agri-food businesses to purchase more PPE and cleaning supplies to help combat COVID-19 spread.
WOODSTOCK - The province is announcing $10 million to help farmers and agri-food operators purchase cleaning supplies related to COVID-19.

"It is critical that we take every step possible to protect worker health and safety and ensure the province's food producers can continue operating. The men and women on our farms and in the agri-food sector are essential workers on the front lines of the pandemic and deserve our support and appreciation."
