Grower association in Ontario coordinates vaccination clinic
Over the past week, just over 90 percent of the Holland Marsh’s ag workers were vaccinated through pop-up clinics and appointments.
Organized by the Holland Marsh Growers’ Association (HMGA), in collaboration with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU), York Region Health Unit and local municipalities, the vaccination effort was necessary to ensure the spring growing season could begin safely, with farmers and ag workers inoculated against the spread of COVID-19. The HMGA continues to work with both health units to identify agri-workers in both regions needing vaccines.
“Getting the vaccine into the arms of our farmers and their workers is a huge relief to all the families across the Marsh. But it is also critically important to ensure we are able to safely grow the produce that Canadians across the country require,” said Jody Mott, executive director of the HMGA.
