Event Description

The Rural Ontario Institute, host of the renowned Advanced
Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP), is excited to announce Dr. Rebecca Sutherns, popular author, professional facilitator and coach will be the featured speaker at The Leadership Lecture and Reception. Tickets are now on sale for this premiere event.

“Imagination isn’t just for dreamers—it’s for leaders,” says Gabrielle Ferguson, Leadership Programs Director at ROI. “This session will inspire and equip listeners to think differently and
act boldly in shaping the future. It is the capstone element of the Advanced AgriculturalLeadership Program (AALP).”

The event will be held on March 27, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the DoubleTree by Hilton located at 30 Fairway Rd South in Kitchener. The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception,
providing an opportunity for attendees to network with community leaders, AALP alumni, current participants of AALP Class 20, program sponsors and distinguished guests.

During her talk, Dr. Sutherns will delve into how stepping into a future we desire—whether at a societal, organizational or personal level—requires us to go beyond evidence and embrace the power of imagination.

“By attending this event attendees will discover why imagination is a vital skill we must grow into, not out of, and learn how to incorporate it into their leadership toolkit,” says Dr. Sutherns. Rebecca has a PhD in Sustainable Rural Communities, and is a Certified Professional Facilitator and coach, frequent keynote speaker and has written three books on adaptable leadership. She is a skilled communicator with a gift for helping leaders and organizations reimagine their next chapter.

An open fall may offer Manitoba farmers a chance to turn marginal acres into opportunity

For Manitoba farmers looking for ways to get more from every acre, late fall can be the right time to tackle fields that consistently struggle to produce a profitable crop. Flood prone, weedy, saline areas can quietly eat into farm profitability year after year. Rather than continuing to apply crop inputs and fight with wet, saline acres that simply don’t pay, farmers can consider perennial forages as a longer-term solution. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is encouraging farmers to take advantage of the fall window for dormant seeding as part of its Marginal Areas Program. “Some acres aren’t as well suited to growing annual crops year after year,” says Daphne Appleyard, a marginal areas specialist with DUC. “Fall is a good opportunity to start changing that equation by establishing perennial forages. Perennials reduce the need for annual crop inputs, provide ground cover to reduce erosion and weed pressure, and deep roots use moisture more efficiently than annual crops while mitigatin
