Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month
March in Canada is a celebration of agriculture across the country.
Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM) is an engaging experiential opportunity that encourages students from K to 12 in all 10 provinces to learn about and celebrate Canada’s incredible agriculture and food story. By connecting classrooms with farmers and people with a passion for agriculture and food, students and teachers learn firsthand about this sector through the incredible story shared by the volunteer visiting with them!
“This is amazing! ... We loved the program and I’m eager to do it again next year if it’s offered”
Each year in the month of March, we will be engaging with students across the province through hands on activities, speakers and programming. There are opportunities both provincially and nationally during CALM, so many ways to engage students in agriculture education.
