Welcome to Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month

Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM) takes place in March every year across Canada and provides the opportunity for students/classrooms to connect with local farmers and people who are involved in producing food.

CALM Update: We heard your requests and have extended the program dates! Presentations can take place in March OR April!

Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM) 2022 will explore Connections in Agriculture through a NEW hands-on resource and engaging activity. We will also be coordinating optional virtual or in-person classroom presentations this year for your students to connect with a local farmer and/ or agriculture industry professional. Your students will get to ask their questions about farming like how do farmers decide which crop to grow, why are some eggs brown, where do cows sleep in winter, and more!

We have tailored resource packages for:

• Grades K to 2: Connections in Agriculture Web Activity

• Grades 3 to 5: Connections in Agriculture Web Activity & Short Story

• Grades 6 to 8: Connections in Agriculture Create Your Own Video Activity Join in the fun of learning about where food comes from with students from across Canada by sharing your experience on social media and tagging #CALM22.

For 2022, we are pleased to be launching a new personalized dashboard for our teachers and volunteers across all our programs. For CALM, your dashboard will allow you to easily access match information, presentation details, any CALM files and program messages from your CALM coordinator.
