Alberta is formally designating Sep. 21 as Agricultural Societies Day. In making the announcement, the ag minister R.J. Sigurdson says the date will be officially listed on the province’s special days website.
In saluting the provincial role of ag societies dating back to 1879, officials highlight everything from rural Alberta development, fostering improvement in agriculture and enriching the quality of life in communities across the province.
Sigurdson notes that the programs, events, services, and facilities of Alberta’s ag societies are needed supports in the various communities.
