What a fantastic time we had at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair 2024! We had the pleasure of engaging with so many students in Ontario through our impactful educational programs and interactive booth at the fair.
At our thinkAG Career Competition, over 200 students explored diverse career paths in agriculture and food through interactive activities at various booths, competing for points and prizes along the way. This dynamic experience ignited their interest in the industry and provided them with invaluable insights to shape their future careers. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated volunteers from 4-H Ontario, Chicken Farmers of Ontario, Dairy Farmers of Ontario, Farm & Food Care Ontario, Garden Ontario, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians, Ontario Beekeepers' Association, Ontario Beef, Ontario Pork, and Worm Wrangler for their support!
Our Local Food Workshops were equally inspiring! Over two days, students learned how Ontario’s local food systems impact their health, communities, and the environment. Through hands-on activities and expert guidance from our Teacher Ambassadors, the students explored the importance of local food and how to make healthy food choices.
At our interactive booth, attendees discovered exciting careers in agriculture and food while exploring our educational programs and resources. It was wonderful to engage with so many enthusiastic students, teachers, and families throughout the fair!
We also had the pleasure of connecting with our incredible partners and supporters who joined us at the fair. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to advancing agriculture and food education in Ontario!
A special thank you to The Royal for making these educational experiences possible at this year’s fair. We look forward to returning next year and the opportunity to amplify our impact on students in Ontario!
