Take part in the SIAL Canada trade mission

Alberta food and beverage companies interested in exporting may consider this trade mission to Montreal, April 20 to 22, 2022.

Participate in SIAL Canada

‘SIAL Canada is the only event of its scale in Canada, with more than 1,000 national and international exhibitors from 50 countries hosting over 18,500 buyers from Canada, the United States and 60 other countries,’ says Marissa Brewer, senior trade development officer with Alberta Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development.

‘We are looking to lead a trade mission to SIAL Canada for Alberta food and beverage companies from April 20 to 22, 2022. The tradeshow will take place in Montreal, Quebec. Participating companies will be able to exhibit under the Western Canadian Pavilion and engage in business to business meetings.’

This tradeshow marks the grand return of SIAL’s face-to-face events, and will be complying with all provincial health regulations as needed. SIAL Canada provides an excellent opportunity for Alberta companies to continue their exposure amongst North American and international buyers. Companies will also be able to participate in events and conferences to discover the latest trends and issues in the sector.

Any interested Alberta food and beverage companies are asked to contact Marissa Brewer by January 7, 2022. The decision to proceed with this initiative is dependent on the level of interest received from companies.

Feeding 300 Sheep In Just 14 Minutes!

Video: Feeding 300 Sheep In Just 14 Minutes!

Join us for our daily twilight chores on our working sheep farm and watch how we feed sheep the old-fashioned way with barely any technology. Buckets may not be exciting to watch, but they are an inexpensive, fast, and efficient way to feed sheep requiring practically no input costs except for the grain itself and a little manpower. At the moment, we have about 600 Suffolk and Dorset sheep and lambs on our working sheep farm in Ontario, Canada. We feed them twice a day, and in the growing seasons, they are also free to go to pasture. Daily chores consist mainly of feeding the sheep and letting them out to pasture at this time of year. We feed twice a day, which sometimes entails rolling out a bale of hay and, at other times, forking left over hay out so that they can reach it. Feeding grain just takes minutes to do in each barn.
