It’s Canadian Agricultural Safety Week.
This year’s theme is “Safe & Strong Farms”.
Manitoba Farm Safety Program says a healthy farmer is a safe farmer and a safe farmer is a strong farmer.
Canadian Ag Safety Week happens every March and is intended to educate and inspire farmers and farm families through resources and safety advice articles.
The AgSafe Ribbon Campaign is a way to declare your support and raise awareness about farm safety by wearing a burlap ribbon. Farmers are encouraged to phone Renée Simcoe at (204) 924-6018 to obtain your AgSafe Ribbons.
The FSP is also holding a free morning seminar Monday April 8th at the Portage Ex Building from 9am to noon focused on stress management, mental health and work-life balance for farmers. Pre-registration is required. Visit www.manitobafarmsafety.ca/training-events to register.
