Minister’s statement in support of BC Ag Day

Pam Alexis, Minister of Agriculture and Food, has issued the following statement in support of B.C. Agriculture Day:

“Today, I welcome leaders from B.C.’s farming community to Victoria for a day of sharing and partnership, and recognize all the agricultural producers throughout the province who provide us with food, drinks, flowers and plants.

“BC Ag Day shines a spotlight on the hard work and countless hours farmers and ranchers put in every day to feed and provide for their communities and the province. It is also a day to celebrate the innovation, technology and resilience that we see on B.C. farms, which strengthen our local food systems and support our province’s food security, economy and rural communities.
