Updated message from A.M.A. on COVID-19
Dear Customers and Horticulture Industry Partners,
As Government of Ontario’s COVID-19 regulations continue to change, A.M.A. Horticulture Inc. remains open and continues to find solutions for our customers.
People need to eat, and our industry plays a key role in making sure that there is food on the shelves. While we find ourselves in challenging times, it is motivating to know that we, each of us, have something to offer to help Canadians get through the COVID-19 crisis. The value of our industry to Canada has never been clearer.
We want to recognize the commitment and dedication of the A.M.A. team to this important work. We also want to thank and encourage the many growers who are pushing on to help ensure access to fresh produce and plant products.
Health and safety remains a top priority for our team. A.M.A. is following the guidance of public health authorities and taking precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of our team, our customers and our community.
