The Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association is the National Sports organization
for Therapeutic Riding and riders with a disability in Canada. "CanTRA" is a
non-profit organization providing support to individuals and groups through
education, certification, insurance coverage, communication and accreditation.
The Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association, a registered charity, was formed in 1980.
Committed to promoting challenge and achievement for young people and adults with
disabilities through the use of the horse, the organization has grown to almost one
hundred member riding centres across Canada.
Therapeutic Riding is a form of therapy using horses to help persons with disabilities,
the disabilities range from physical through learning and even emotional disabilities.
Many riders experience a connection to the horse that few sports can create. For those
riders who cannot walk, the horse is their feet, their vehicle of transport. Not only
does this help raise their self-esteem but it also teaches them essential skills.
It improves balance, creates trust and creates a friendship between rider and horse.
Disseminating information about any subject to a broad range of constituents
and concerned parties and organizations can be a formidable task, no matter
what the medium might be. This website is designed to achieve just that goal
for agriculture, and it has a mandate from the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
The World Agricultural Information Centre (WAICENT) is designed to provide a framework for disseminating
agricultural information. In many ways functions as a portal, collecting
links to relevant websites and documents through a series of topical and
subtopical headings. Given the sheer amount of material here, visitors will
take comfort to learn that the site�s homepage features a �Highlights�
section that draws their attention to new additions, such as the FAO Tsunami
Portal.
Additionally, visitors can take advantage of a sophisticated search
engine offered here, or just browse around through such topics as
agroindustry and forest management.

Canadian Association of Farm Advisors
The Canadian Association of Farm Advisors (CAFA) is a national,non-profit professional organization dedicated to helping farm business by increasing the skills and knowledge of farm advisors.
CAFA members, include among others: accountants, lawyers, financial planners, bankers, insurance agents, home economists, family coaches, real estate agents, agrologists and farmers.
Since January 2001, CAFA has developed local chapters across the country-from BC through to Ontario. The local chapters hold monthly meetings that offer members an opportunity to learn about a variety of topics that farm advisors need to know, such as new government policy, agricultural issues that impact the advice they provide and further enrich their own resources by learning from the expertise that members from other disciplines can share.
In addition to the educational aspect, meetings offer networking opportunities with other professionals dealing with farm clients.
A number of organizations have developed a concerted interest in
establishing seed banks to protect the wide diversity of existing plant life
for future generations.
The Royal Botanic Gardens is currently working on
their own project, whose ultimate goal is to collect 24,000 plant species.
So far, they have successfully secured samples from almost all of the native
flowering plants in the United Kingdom, and their work continues on in the
present day. Many visitors to the site will want to peruse their homepage
and the helpful graphic (a peapod) helps orient first-time visitors to the
various sections on the site, such as �Solving Seed Problems� and their
publications and data area.
The site also includes a field manual for those
who would like to collect their own seeds in the field as well as data about
the seeds collected thus far in the Seed Information Database.
