Agriculture Roundup for Friday December 2, 2022

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders partnered to provide admission to more than 500 displaced Ukrainians and newcomers to attend Agribition yesterday.

CWA CEO Shaun Kindopp said Agribition is a place of community.

“As Ukrainians and refugees transition into this new way of life, it’s important for them to feel welcome and safe in our province,” Kindopp said.

So far, over 2,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the province since the war began in February.

The year 2015 was just before a national election – which have major influences on policy paths, administration goals, and how farmers feel about their future.
