EDMONTON — The Alberta government is extending a deadline for farm workers to get new mandatory truck driver training.
A coalition of the province’s agriculture producers had expressed concerns about the March 1 deadline.
The group said a lot of seasonal work relies on truck drivers and it would be difficult to get them tested in time for this year’s growing season.
The government says it consulted with the agriculture industry and has decided to extend the deadline for farm drivers to March 1 of next year.
