SUMMARY:56th Annual Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week 2022 ~Goes Virtual, Aga
 in~
DESCRIPTION:It goes without saying that the past many months have been
  difficult! Looking to the remainder of this year, and into 2022, ther
 e is continued uncertainty as to what the impacts from the variants of
  COVID-19 will bring! There is no doubt that in-person gatherings are 
 sorely missed, and we all certainly crave to be in Elmwood, sitting do
 wn to a hot roast beef meal among friends. But, until that is safely p
 ossible, the Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week (GBFW) committee, with the sup
 port of their Premier Sponsor FCC, have made the decision to deliver, 
 for the second year in a row, “the best virtual conference possible�
 �� in January 2022. GBFW has been there for local producers and beyond
  for 55 years. It will continue to be there in its 56th year but deliv
 ered online only. Some may ask why this decision was made at this time
 . To co-ordinate this online delivery to its fullest potential, the co
 mmittee decided to choose this path now, rather than it being a rushed
  Plan B closer to January. GBFW is recognized as one of the most well-
 organized conferences in Ontario. By pivoting to virtual now, coordina
 tors can ensure that that reputation is maintained.\r\nWithout the lim
 itations of long-distance travel, and wintery weather, GBFW is availab
 le to anyone, from anywhere. Additionally, without the requirement for
  speakers to travel, the conference can draw from a broader pool of pr
 esenters – Sheep Day will feature a veterinarian from the UK. There 
 will still be industry updates, producer mingle periods, speaker Q&As,
  producer panels, and of course, the top-notch educational content tha
 t is expected of GBFW.\r\nOur Virtual #GBFW21 was incredible, and we l
 earned a lot! So, we will build upon the strengths of our first ever v
 irtual conference, to tweak and create an even better Virtual #GBFW22.
  An example of one of our adaptations is that our first day, Jan 4, wi
 ll be Check Your Tech Tuesday (CYTT). This will be an opportunity for 
 everyone to get comfortable with the platform, make sure their technol
 ogy works, check out the sponsors and supporters, and listen to some d
 ynamite speakers! Anyone with a ticket for any of the days will get a 
 complimentary ticket to CYTT.\r\nTo find more information about Grey B
