Adventures in Agriculture is held during the internationally acclaimed Canadian Western Agribition Livestock Show and Sale held annually in Regina. It provides students who attend an opportunity to visit Agribition, tour major agriculture-based industries, and participate in networking and information sessions conducted by agriculture industry professionals and business leaders. The program is designed for senior High School Students interested in the many facets of the agricultural sector.
The program engages students to:
- understand and improve rural-urban relationships
- enhance awareness of agricultural career opportunities
- explore the broad array of changing and expanding technologies
- reinforce the economic importance of agriculture
- consider and discuss the environment in the context of agriculture
Participating students are selected by a sponsoring Rotary Club based on a recommendation from their school and will travel to Regina for the event. They will participate in tours, presentations and networking with agribusiness leaders; attend one day at the Canadian Western Agribition and Rodeo; and select an agricultural topic to research and speak about. During the program, students are hosted at luncheons and dinners sponsored by industry partners.
To be eligible, students must be in Grade 11 or 12.
The cost of the program is covered by the sponsoring Rotary Club, our Industry Partners, and the Rotary Club of Regina Eastview, as host. There is no cost to the student, other than personal spending money
