The International Federation of Agricultural Journalists is holding its annual congress in Guelph and Niagara Falls in September, 2011. The congress — which hasn’t taken place in Canada since 1967 — has a new logo, and I think it looks great! Thanks to designer Gordon MacGregor for working with the organizing committee to develop it, and to congress co-chair Lilian Schaer for seeing the project through. Check the congress website for more information, including how to get involved in the all-important committee work that will make the congress a success.
