This past March, the Guardian Network Symposium was held for the first time in person. Sixty Guardians were in attendance and had an opportunity to network; enjoy the delicious food and hospitality from the Delta Hotels Guelph Conference Centre; and hear from presenters on lived experience with death by suicide, marginalization in the farming community, research on farmer communication, and taking care of their own wellness. It was incredible to gather Guardians from across the province.
“Thank you for having me here. For all of the support. This is an amazing network. Great event! The organizers did an amazing job of pulling together such a variety of topics and presenters, while keeping the audience engaged.”
“It was amazing to connect with others who are connecting with the ag community. I enjoyed learning more about the lifestyle of a farmer and those who are immersed into the community.”
This project is funded in part by the Governments of Canada and Ontario under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), a five-year, federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
