Our President, Emily Bromley, attended Farm Credit Canada's Future of Food Conference to celebrate #CdnAgDay, thanks to McDonald's 🇨🇦’s support. A great day of learning & networking with Canadian ag leaders!
We are in Ottawa for Canadian Cattle Association’s AGM. Yesterday's youth fly-in day took a unique turn with learning sessions on lobbying, as MPs are in their constituencies. The council toured West Block, thanks to MP Rachael Thomas’s office, and were witnesses in a mock committee meeting.
The council then headed to Canadian Cattle Association's Ottawa Office for a 'lobbying 101' talk with Jennifer Babcock followed by a meeting with AAFC Canada's #CdnAgYouth Council. A great opportunity to connect with other youth in Agriculture and see where we can collaborate going forward!
To wrap up the day, the council took part in Mock MP Meetings with Canadian Cattle Association board members, Craig McLachlin and Matt Bowman. This provided an opportunity to apply what they learned and receive valuable feedback. A big thank you to Craig and Matt for their expertise!
