Calling all Innovators!

Click here for details on the Ag Society Innovation Award

Alberta Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development is now accepting applications for the Agricultural Society Innovation Award.

 The process remains succinct and straightforward with only three short questions to answer. Photos are welcome!

The award allows us to work together to champion and celebrate the significant contributions that agricultural societies make, while inspiring others to take action.  Innovations should be something that is new  to your agricultural society, and demonstrate how  you continue to positively impact community engagement, recovery, renewing etc. during the last year.

The Minister or designate, will recognize up to three agricultural societies (based on size) at the upcoming Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies annual convention on February 2025. The winners will each receive a banner suitable for display in their arena or community hall to mark this achievement, along with a formal certificate of recognition.  Agricultural societies matter and this is one small way for us to say thank you for the critical work that you do in building a stronger Alberta.

If you have any questions, please contact Susan Lacombe at susan.lacombe@gov.ab.ca or 780-968-6557.
