The country’s largest livestock show opened its doors this morning in Regina, Sask.
The kickoff to the 54th edition of the Canadian Western Agribition (CWA), was the Burning of the Brand, which was led by Bernadette McIntyre, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.
Agribition president Michael Latimer said its an important tradition for the show and the organizers are excited for a busy week of activities.
“Cattle barns are full, trade shows are full, rodeos are nearly sold out. It looks like it’s gonna be a great week,” Latimer said.
Following record-setting attendance and sold-out rodeo nights in 2024, CWA features livestock shows, top-tier rodeo action, entertainment, and hands-on agricultural education.
Building on that excitement, CWA is introducing a new family-focused event this year, designed to bring even more young visitors into the heart of the show. On Tuesday evening, CWA debuts its first-ever “Agribition’s Family Night at the Chutes,” presented by the Regina Pats.
The accessible arena program offers families the chance to experience rodeo up close, with interactive moments on the dirt, youth-friendly rodeo action, and an atmosphere designed to spark curiosity and connection with animals and performers who define the CWA experience.
Shaun Kindopp, CEO of CWA, said Agribition’s Family Night at the Chutes is an opportunity to welcome more young visitors into the heart of the Agribition experience.
