Two greatest barriers to new farmers are lack of access to land and capital.

1 National Young Farmers Coalition Report, 2015

The Ontario Greenbelt – 10 Year Review

The Great Canadian Landgrab

No Farmland = No Local Farmers =

No Local Food

Sprawl – Brant/Brantford Boundary Deal

Brant County: 1980 Protected Agricultural Ribbon

1) If the Minister Approves the Brant/Brantford Boundary Deal – Appeal

2) Grow the Greenbelt 3) Conservation Easements 4) Land Trust buys land

Creative Solutions:

1) Challenge the Brant/Brantford Boundary Deal

2) Create a Grand River Watershed Greenbelt

3) Protect Land with Conservation Easements

4) Purchase by Land Trust and Lease to New Farmers

SOLUTION

Preserve farmland and provide new small-scale organic farmers access to affordable farmland

Langford Conservancy

Our Aim: • To initially sell community bonds to raise

funds to buy a farm • Organic farmers will be able to hold

long-term leases on protected land

Community Bond Campaign

9 Essential Skills

These nine essential skills provide the foundation for success in work, learning, and life.

1. Reading 2. Document Use 3. Numeracy 4. Writing 5. Oral Communication6. Working with Others 7. Thinking 8. Computer Use 9. Continuous Learning

In 2012, the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competency discovered that 47% of adults in Ontario do not have the literacy and essential skills for learning, work, and life.

What does this mean to our people and our community?

Parents play a vital role in their children’s learning. The higher the level of a parent’s education and skill level, the higher the likelihood that the child will succeed in school.

• People with low literacy skills are more likely to experience unemployment and are twice as likely to be unemployed for six months or more.

• Low literacy skills can represent a risk to workplace health and safety.

Based on the 2011 National Household Survey, 24% of people in Brantford do not have their high school diploma.

• Young people are dropping out before completing their high school education.

• Approximately 29% of Grand Erie students who wrote the grade 10 literacy test in the 2014-2015 school year were unsuccessful.

• Money /Poverty• Job• Health issues• Disability• Lack of childcare• Transportation • Lack of personal motivation• Home situation

• Ontario will experience a skill shortage in the near future. Improving literacy rates will be critical to our province’s future economic health

• It is estimated that by 2031, Ontario will need 77% of its workforce to have post-secondary credential

Only 21% of people with low literacy skills try to access further education or training programs.

Close to 50% of adults with the lowest levels of literacy live in low income households.

Raising the literacy levels of people is one of the most important ways to encourage lifelong learning in our community.

• Provide people with the opportunity to learn while understanding their personal barriers to learning and education

• Provide a positive, open-minded learning environment

• Have an understanding of past learning experiences and how it may affect their learning now and in the future

• Ensure people have their basic needs met by referring people to programs and services

• Understand that people of all walks of life can experience challenges with literacy

• Break down the barriers

We need to…

Provide a positive, open-minded learning environment

Increased literacy skills are strongly linked to economic growth and prosperity. A 1% increase in literacy skills would lead to an increase of $18.5 billion per year in Canada’s GDP.

Literacy and the Economy

• Having the essential skills to obtain and maintain employment

• Having the digital literacy skills needed for the 21st century

• Upgrading your math skills to start an apprenticeship

• Access to education and training• Having the ability to succeed in

completing high school credit courses

Literacy means…

• Writing your GED • Being prepared to enter a post-secondary

school program• Being able to read to your children or

grandchildren• Financial independence

Literacy means…

! Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) encompasses programs and services offered at the Brantford General Hospital and the Willett in Paris

! Tonight I’m talking about the Foundation – the fundraising partner for the system

! I’m not talking about the future of the Willett in Paris – that’s a good discussion for another time

Brant Community Healthcare System

Together we are transforming healthcare in our community. Every Dollar Counts!

Independent organization dedicated to:

1. Raising awareness of the gap in funding 2. Communicating the needs in the system 3. Engaging the community and raising money 4. Managing donor dollars with accountability and responsibility

What is the BCHS Foundation?


! Joined the board as a volunteer in 2010 ! Appointed to the Executive in 2012 ! Served as Chair from January 2015 to June 2016 ! Currently Past Chair ! Also cross appointment to the BCHS Hospital Board as non-

voting member

What’s my connection?


I was searching for:

1. Something just for me with no connections to anyone else 2. A way to use my board governance skills 3. A brand new area of learning

What’s in it for me?


1. Volunteers who care about healthcare in our community 2. People with skills in business, legal, government all with

community connections 3. Diverse representation of the community 4. Gap matrix system for recruitment 5. Six year term

Our Volunteer Board



! The Foundation provides money to: 1. purchase medical equipment and capital expenditures that are

not paid for by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, 2. provide essential resources to maintain the exceptional level of

compassionate patient care, 3. invest in new and innovative technology, and 4. handle emergency repairs

Government spending isn’t enough!

Just over $21.7million raised in the last 12 years

How has the community responded?


! Wheelchairs and critical care beds ! MRI and CT Scanner, ! Portable ultrasound and other ER

equipment, ! Diagnostic imaging equipment,

Where does the $$$$ go?


! Lab equipment, ! Music therapy program, ! Refreshing the cancer clinic and

paediatric unit, and ! More………………..

Short answer – for everything in every place

1. Appropriate recognition and thanks 2. Stewardship reports 3. Newsletters 4. Updated website 5. Annual reports 6. Ability to direct gifts - restricted funds or priority needs 7. Wise investments

Accountability to our donors


1. Small team of dedicated fundraising professionals 2. 3rd party partners 3. Dedicated volunteers 4. Anyone with a good idea 5. We all can through social media – Foundation is connected!

3rd Party Program!


! The need for funds never stops ! Technology changes so quickly ! Lots of great causes to support

! Understanding why we give – what motivates a donor? ◦ People just don’t write cheques, we need to continually engage donors

What are the Challenges?


! Healthcare affects everyone in our community ! Hospitals will continue to need donor dollars ! The future of the delivery of our healthcare will define our

future needs ! Endless opportunities to connect with our growing

community, and ! Everyone can participate because every dollar counts!

Looking ahead
