Agribition Planning Live Event This Fall

Canadian Western Agribition announced their plans to be back with a full live event in Regina this fall, despite the uncertainty of the pandemic. 

Work has begun for the 50th anniversary of the show which will include 12 national breed shows. Regular programs including the professional rodeo will also be back. 

The show is scheduled to run from Nov. 22 to 27. 

Last year due to the pandemic, the show was forced to move online, but was still able to attract 1.2 million people from 86 different countries, 

The 2020 show however reported a loss of $774,000.
