Ontario Pork’s Pig Mobile lets people across Ontario safely see pigs up close. Visitors love meeting the pigs and talking to the people who care for them. Our friendly Hambassadors are farmers and industry experts who answer questions at events year-round.
This webpage is a resource for those willing to step up and represent Ontario Pork as a Hambassador.
Ontario Pork offers payment (a per diem) to qualifying Hambassadors. It covers your time working at the Pig Mobile, mileage, parking, and event admission. Here are the documents that future and current Hambassadors should familiarize themselves with:
Receipts are mandatory for reimbursement. Take extra care not to lose them.
All payments over $130 are subject to statutory deductions (income tax and CPP) and must be reported on a T4, as per Canada Revenue regulations.
Ontario Pork has created simple training resources to help you feel confident when speaking with the public. Once your shift is confirmed, these will be sent to your email.
Here is a list of answers to common questions consumers may ask at events.
