All our activities are initiated, planned, promoted and run by volunteers. Our on-going activities consist of 6-8 events during the course of a year which can be workshops, lectures, visits and tours. We also attend a number of trade shows, like Total Health and Whole Life Expo, to promote organic food and agriculture. In addition, we have ad hoc projects, such as an organic conference, an organic directory for Toronto, and an organic database. We are always open to new initiatives. If you are passionate about something in the organic sector, and have an idea you'd like to see made real, we'd love to hear from you!
