Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM) connects teachers and agriculture industry volunteers to help students learn where their food comes from through real stories and hands-on experiences.
What is CALM?
CALM is a classroom-based program that includes:
• An in-class visit from a volunteer farmer or ag professional
• A hands-on agriculture activity
• An agriculture-themed book for the classroom
All visits take place during March 2026. REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
For Teachers
Register your Grades 2–4 classroom and host an ag volunteer who will share their agriculture story and engage your students.
Why teachers participate:
• Curriculum-connected, real-world learning
• Minimal prep, support and resources provided
• An engaging guest, a hands-on activity, and a book to keep
For Ag Industry Volunteers
Share your ag story with students, engage them in a hands-on activity, and help build their understanding and appreciation for agriculture and where their food comes from. We need both English and French speaking volunteers!
