Manitoba Canola Growers Association has made a large investment in the future of agriculture
In an announcement during Manitoba Ag Days, MCGA has donated $120,000 to Manitoba's Ag In The Classroom.
This substantial donation will come in the form of $40,000 deposits over 3 years, and AITC's Executive Director Katherine Cherewyk says it will help a lot.
"That goes directly to programming, to resources, to everything we do. We know how to make a dollar stretch a long way as a charity and a non-profit."
The money comes in a timely fashion, as Cherewyk notes that business is booming.
"We're now busier than ever. We have educators talking about us, wanting to be involved in the programs that we have and getting the resources that we offer. we have the trust of the industry, we have the trust of education, so we just need people to be on our side for the long haul. MCGA has done just that"
Ag in the classroom will be using this funding to further their efforts in providing resources for classrooms across the province to encourage students to get into the agricultural sector.
