Livestock show returns to Regina

Canadian Western Agribition returns for its 51st edition starting on Monday.

Known primarily as a livestock event, Agribition also boasts rodeo performances, cabarets, agri-education, and a trade show.

This will be the first Agribition for the new CEO Shaun Kindopp. He was appointed to the position last August. He was busy walking through the facilities on Friday.

“As of 3:00 p.m. today people will be getting ready to move in and have their stalls set up. So, it’s exciting as people start getting set up here,” Kindopp said. “Livestock entries this year are fantastic. We’re really comparable to the 2019 numbers, which is fantastic coming out of the pandemic that we can remain at those levels.”

A heated discussion erupts over the logic behind the government's cuts to AAFC research farms in Lacombe, Indian Head, and Quebec City. MPs question why core, decades-old scientific infrastructure is being deemed 'not core' while other, controversial programs were funded. The Deputy Minister is repeatedly pressed for the actual net savings of the decision versus the expense of relocating research programs.
