Canadian Western Agribition launches first-ever Virtual Education Program

-

Regina, Saskatchew­an - In partnershi­p with the Saskatchew­an Ministry of Agricultur­e, Canadian Western Agribition ( CWA) is proud to launch its first- ever Virtual Education Program.

CWA’s Virtual Education Program is a yearround online platform that features content and learning for all elementary aged students. The program brings some of the best online and accessible lessons about agricultur­e directly into the classroom. Using content from various Agribition education partners and exhibitors, the platform creates a way for students, parents, and teachers to learn about food production and get the most out of their next in- person visit to the show.

“Each year, CWA welcomes thousands of students to the show and we wanted to build a platform that helped prepare students and teachers for the experience they’ll get at Agribition,” says CWA CEO Chris Lane. “Thanks to our committee and our partners, these online activities are a great year- round complement to the live programmin­g.”

“Agribition plays a valuable role in building awareness of food production and increasing public trust in the agricultur­e industry,” says

Saskatchew­an Agricultur­e Minister David Marit. “Our government congratula­tes CWA and its partners on developing new resources to bring the Agribition experience to students across the province.”

CWA’s Virtual Education Program is a free platform available to the general public and is accessible through Agribition’s website using any device or laptop. The platform will be year- round with new educationa­l content added as it becomes available.
