Ag Expo is back at Exhibition Park

LETHBRIDGE, AB — The Ag Expo and North American Seed Fair is underway this week at Exhibition Park in Lethbridge.

Western Canada’s premier agricultural exhibition is back in person this year with hundreds of exhibitors on site.

This year’s event showcases industry leaders and agricultural experts on topics ranging from soil biology to irrigation research.

The Speaker Series features local experts sharing stories on everything from farm-to-fork experiences to mental health and innovation in the agriculture industry.

One of the highlights of the event is the Agricultural Scholarship Awards. This year, at least two $10,000 scholarships will be presented by the Lethbridge and District Exhibition and the Rotary Club of Lethbridge East.

The scholarship is meant to recognize the importance of agriculture in Southern Alberta and support the next generation of agricultural leaders in our community.

Each year, the Ag Scholarship Committee raises thousands of dollars to support students who are pursuing an agricultural or agri-business career. It’s presented to post-secondary undergraduate agriculture students who are from Southern Alberta.

Ag Expo runs March 2 – 4, 2022 at Exhibition Park in Lethbridge. The scholarships will be announced during a banquet at Heritage Hall on Thursday, March 3.
