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.”

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
