The Sunderland Agricultural Society values the contributions of its many volunteers. It is great to have our members recognized by others beyond our organization. It is with pride that we announce:

For her involvement in our fair, Collette McFadden has been honoured by Ontario Agri-Food Education Inc. for her promotion of agricultural education.

Dorothy Shier, Lynda Bagshaw, Dale St. John, Jack Haydock & Allan Simpson are recipients of the Ontario Volunteer Service Award presented by the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship.
