The Alberta Farm Animal Care Awards of Distinction were initiated in 2001 to recognize individuals or groups who have made exceptional contributions in the field of livestock welfare. These individuals or organizations apply new, innovative ideas and management practices to improve and ensure high standards of animal wellbeing; understand the public’s need for assurance that farm animals are raised humanely; and, can be held up as examples of those who are making a difference. For more information or to nominate an individual or organization for one of the awards, go to www.afac.ab.ca, or email kristen@afac.ab.ca.
