He talked about what school might look like in the fall.

"They've already announced for the fall that it's going to be online, similar to the way that we ended in the spring time," he said. "It's going to be all online, virtual classes, so that will be a new challege. It makes you adjust your own personal schedule, your time management skills you have to sharpen up a bit, not having the routine of having to go to campus every day."

In total, 64 students received their ag diplomas.

Pete Giesbrecht from Winkler received the Governor General’s Bronze Medal for the highest standing in the two year course.

Noah de Rocquigny from St. Claude received the President’s Medal given annually to a student who combines scholarship with outstanding qualities of leadership.

Video: Finding a Balance of Innovation and Regulation - Dr. Peter Facchini

Regulations help markets and industry exist on level playing fields, keeping consumers safe and innovation from going too far. However, incredibly strict regulations can stunt innovation and cause entire industries to wither away. Dr. Peter James Facchini brings his perspective on how existing regulations have slowed the advancement of medical developments within Canada. Given the international concern of opium poppy’s illicit potential, Health Canada must abide by this global policy. But with modern technology pushing the development of many pharmaceuticals to being grown via fermentation, is it time to reconsider the rules?

Dr. Peter James Facchini leads research into the metabolic biochemistry in opium poppy at the University of Calgary. For more than 30 years, his work has contributed to the increased availability of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthetic genes to assist in the creation of morphine for pharmaceutical use. Dr. Facchini completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto before completing Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biochemistry at the University of Kentucky in 1992 & Université de Montréal in 1995.
