Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies

Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies Non-profit organizations that encourage improvement in agriculture and in the quality of life of persons living in agricultural communities.

Over 65,000 volunteers are involved across Alberta; 3,500 at the Board-level. These individuals are community leaders, advocates, business owners and major farm operators who inspire others to build a stronger rural community. These Ag Societies work to enhance quality of life by developing programs, and services and providing facilities that meet the needs of their communities. There are currentl

y over 700 facilities in Alberta, some of which include ice arenas, riding arenas, community halls, curling rinks, barns, and campgrounds that are owned and/or operated by Ag Societies in Alberta. In addition, Ag Societies fill other community needs such as providing education in Agriculture, organizing and hosting
sports, cultural and recreational events, as well as offering safety courses and seniors activities. In support of education and youth Ag Societies offer scholarships, and partner with other community groups
(including 4-H ) in developing educational programs, and sending youth to leadership, and educational camps.

Farm safety isn't the responsibility of just one person—it's something we all contribute to every day.

As we wrap up our Farm Safety Awareness series, we're reminded that creating a safe farm environment takes teamwork. Whether you're working on the farm, visiting, volunteering, or helping out around the yard, every action matters when it comes to keeping people safe. 🤝🚜

Together, we can build a stronger culture of safety for our families, communities, and future generations.

👏 Congratulations to the Rycroft Agricultural Society on hosting a fantastic Empowering Minds event! The incredible turnout highlights the importance of bringing mental wellness conversations to our rural communities. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success.

We'd love to see more Ag Societies take part in the Empowering Minds program and bring this valuable initiative to their communities. Together, we can continue supporting mental wellness across Alberta. 💚
