Canada to Glow Green: Celebrating a Brighter Future Rooted in Agriculture

 This March, landmarks across Canada will light up in green to celebrate Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM 2026) — a coast-to-coast-to-coast moment of illumination highlighting the people, places, and stories that feed our nation.

Organized by Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C), CALM 2026 unites classrooms, communities, and industry partners under the theme “A Brighter Future, Rooted in Agriculture.” From the Princess Gates at Exhibition Place in Toronto to the Science World in Vancouver, from the Legislative Assembly in Yellowknife to the Shaw Building in Charlottetown, more than 25 landmarks across Canada will glow green throughout March — symbolizing growth, connection, and Canada’s shared agricultural roots.

“These green lights represent more than celebration — they represent connection,” said Denise Schmidt, Executive Director of AITC-Canada. “When Canadians see their skylines glowing green, we hope they’re reminded that agriculture touches every community, every classroom, and every future.”

Darcy Pawlik, Chair of the AITC-Canada Board, added: “For decades, we’ve grown understanding inside classrooms. In 2026, we’re taking that light across the country — turning awareness into visibility, and pride into action.”
