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.

AgriStability: Helping Canadian Farmers Weather Tough Times Canada’s farmers work hard every day to put high-quality food on our tables and export it around the world. They follow strict standards, and their products go through rigorous inspections to ensure safety and quality. But lately, they’ve been facing some tough challenges, including new trade barriers with China. China recently imposed huge tariffs—100% on canola oil, canola meal, and peas, and 25% on certain pork, fish, and seafood products.

To help farmers through this rough patch, the federal government is strengthening AgriStability, a key support program under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP). AgriStability is there to protect farmers when their income takes a big hit—whether from crop loss, rising c
