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.

Foreign Workers Fill Jobs Young Canadians Avoid: CFIB

Nine in 10 small businesses using Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program say they cannot fill those positions with local employees, according to new research from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The CFIB said in a release Tuesday that many of the jobs most commonly filled by temporary foreign workers involve overnight shifts, heavy physical labour, outdoor conditions, seasonal schedules or rural locations — work conditions many young Canadians are reluctant to accept. Nearly half of surveyed youth said they would not seek jobs requiring regular overnight work or frequent heavy physical effort. More than one-third said they would avoid mainly outdoor positions or jobs paying at or near minimum wage, the CFIB release said. Harvesting labourers account for about 32% of temporary foreign worker positions in Canada. Other common occupations include nursery and greenhouse workers, cooks, livestock labourers and food service supervisors. Location is another major b
