Passes and tickets for Agribition go on sale

MELFORT, Sask. — The fiftieth edition of Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) in Regina will include a jam packed six days of events in Regina, Sask.

CWA will kick off on Nov. 28 with all-day free gate admission, courtesy of CN Rail, and the Burning of the Brand ceremony, taking place at 10:00 a.m. to officially open the show.

CWA’s Education Program will also return where 10,000 urban and rural school kids will attend the show for hands-on learning experiences about agriculture and its value chain.

CWA president, Kim Hextall, said registration for CWA’s Education Program will open for teachers in early September.

“Education is a core pillar at Agribition,” Hextall said. “We can’t wait to welcome back thousands of school kids and to give them an opportunity to learn about their food’s journey, from farm to plate.”
