Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba is seeking volunteers to tell the sector’s story this March.
It’s part of Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month, a hands-on program that brings agriculture into the classroom and encourages students to learn about and celebrate Canadian agriculture.
With the return of in-person events in classrooms, AITC-Manitoba is predicting demand will be high this year.

The joys of fishing from shore
Manitoba has many lake and river shorelines to drop a fishing line without the cost of a boat, making shore fishing more accessible, and anglers can still catch impressive fish.
“If you are passionate about sharing your story and want to present to students in the classroom, we will take as many presentations as you’re willing to offer,” the organization wrote in a volunteer appeal.
Volunteers will be matched with a teacher to arrange a date and time for their presentation, to students in grades two, three and four. Presentations will be 45 minutes to an hour long.
Participating volunteers will be encouraged to show students what they do, why they love farming and agriculture, and open the students’ eyes to new knowledge and build a stronger appreciation for food and the role of agriculture.
Volunteers and teachers can register online at the AITC website on or before Feb. 4.
