Alberta Canola is now accepting applications for the Walter Paszkowski Farm Leadership Award, offering a $5000 bursary to an Alberta canola grower for the 2025 National Farm Leadership Program. This award reflects Alberta Canola's dedication to fostering leadership within the agricultural community and honours the legacy of Walter Paszkowski.

Designed to accommodate the demanding lifestyle of farmers, the National Farm Leadership Program, managed by Farm Management Canada and LeaderShift, is spearheaded by Kelly Dobson, a certified Executive Coach and fourth-generation farmer. The program aims to develop leadership abilities through a curriculum rooted in adult learning and neuroscience.

Highlighting the award, Heather Watson of Farm Management Canada stated, “This program equips Canada’s farmers with the capacity to lead with confidence and remain resilient in an ever-evolving industry.”

The initiative was first announced at the Alberta Canola’s Annual General Meeting in Grande Prairie, celebrating Paszkowski’s extensive impact on the canola sector and community leadership.

Christine McKee, Chair of Alberta Canola’s Grower Engagement & Extension Committee, expressed the award's importance in nurturing future agricultural leaders in Alberta.
