Ag In The Classroom Canada Reaches Over Two Million Students In 2019

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada held its virtual AGM last month.
 
Executive Director Johanne Ross says 2019 was an outstanding year.
 
"We reached over two million students, that was an increase of over 100%. We're pretty excited about the reach and the main part of that is working through our provincial member organizations."
 
Ross notes all 10 provinces are now at the table.
 
She explained what school might look like in the fall.
 
"We are assuming that it's going to be a combination of in-person class time as well as virtual. We know that i'ts not going to be as easy as it was to go visit a classroom with outside volunteers. That's just going to be our reality, so all of us across the country are really looking at developing our virtual learning. There is so much opportunity there for us."
