Students immersed in agricultural experience at Aggie Days

After a multi-year hiatus since the Covid pandemic, Aggie Days has returned to Lethbridge to educate hundreds of students about the agriculture industry.

The two-day immersive experience for students in grades 4-6 will showcase the inner workings of how crops are grown, how animals are raised, farm safety and other topics. Organizers say the purpose of the event is for children to really understand how close an impact agriculture has on their own personal lives.

Aggie Days focuses on students rather than the public, but the Lethbridge & District Agricultural Society expresses they are excited to bring the event back on an annual basis.
