A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or your garden or community green space could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

This week is all about celebrating Ontario agriculture. 🌻
That includes all of the incredible growers that help make our spaces beautiful with flowers, plants and ornamental crops.
As you admire all the wonderful fall decorations popping up around us, you can feel proud knowing that everything from mums, flowers, pumpkins, plants, and more were grown right here on Ontario farms.

Can you spot the tick?
Ticks are small & hard to see! As the weather cools, they’re still active, so it’s important to keep protecting yourself from tick-borne illnesses.
If you find a tick, find out what kind it is by using the eTick app or visiting etick.ca.

Eat the season: Ontario grapes are here.
Harvest season has arrived, and Ontario grapes are at their peak. Sweet, crisp, and full of flavour, they're perfect for lunches, charcuterie boards, fruit salads, or simply enjoyed by the handful.
With vineyards stretching across some of Ontario's most scenic regions, grape season is one more reason to celebrate local food.
Eat the Season. Love What's Local.
