Taste of the Southwest, part of the
Fun Fest Weekend held August 12
in Swift Current, was an outstanding
success.
With an attendance of more than
1000 at the inaugural event, Taste
of the Southwest achieved its goals
of promoting local Saskatchewan
products and providing a fun event for
people of the region.
“This event definitely exceeded
our expectations for the first year,”
said Swift Current Exhibition GM
Donna Sagin. “People were impressed
by the variety of foods as well as the
entertainment and organized nature of
the show.”
Based on the same principles as
Taste of Saskatchewan, Taste of the
Southwest focused on restaurants,
producers and caterers from southwest
towns and cities including Cabri,
Vanguard, Eastend, Wymark and Swift
Current.
Thirteen businesses participated
with food samples like buffalo burgers,
lamb, perogies, Baboti (a South African
dish), frozen yogurt and home made
Taste of the Southwest
breads and buns. Tokens were sold for
a $1.00 each and food samples ranged
from $1.00 - $3.00 each.
Visitors to Taste of the Southwest
could also take in bands and singers
like The Sell-outs, Ellen Kolenick and
Dodie Greenwald, and linger in the
beer gardens. Kids could also enjoy
painting and a fish pond.
The popularity of this event bodes
well for future festivals. “We had good
suggestions for next year and we are
already planning to make the Taste of
the Southwest bigger and better!” said
Donna Sagin.
This event would not have been
possible without the support of
major sponsors SAASE, the Prairie
Post and Southwest TV News as
well as the supporting community
organizations. Committee members
included representatives from Sask.
Ag & Food, Community Futures,
Southwest & Cypress Hills REDAs,
the Swift Current Ag & Ex. and
Regional Economic and Community
Development.
Taste of the Southwest at the Swift
Current Exhibition is an example of
some excellent Venture Projects taken
on this year by our Ag Societies. This
event demonstrates how a group of
partners can work together to stage an
event.
There are countless ideas out
there for community events and
development. SAASE’s Venture Project
fund is there to help support those
ideas.
If you have an idea for an event
you would like to organize, give the
SAASE office a call.

SAASE OFFICE
The SAASE Office is located in the
Canada Centre complex on the Ipsco
Place (Regina Exhibition Park) grounds,
next door to the Saskatchewan
Livestock Association office on the 2nd
floor. Visitors are always welcome—give
Glen a call at 565-2121 and drop in.
I hope that everyone has had a great summer since we last met. In
talking to a number of Ag Societies out there I know that the fair
season has certainly had mixed results.
Many Ag Societies had excellent fairs, with increased attendance,
but there have certainly been a number that have had tremendous
challenges, especially with the Anthrax outbreak. Each situation at
the affected fairs has been different, but the board of directors of each
of those fairs certainly acted very responsibly in whatever decisions
were made.
The Clark Lewis Scholarship has been awarded for this year, and I
know that the selection committee had a very difficult job. Thirteen
Ag Societies nominated young people for the scholarship, but
unfortunately there could only be one winner.
Andrea Hemsley from Sylvania, who was nominated by the Golburn
Ag Society, was the first recipient of the Scholarship. Based on the
quality of the young people who were nominated I think that there is
a bright future for Saskatchewan with these great young leaders of the
future.
The SAASE/SIAST agricultural seminars will once again be
offered this fall. Inside the newsletter is a summary of which ones
will be offered, as well as the content of each one. I would certainly
encourage all Ag Societies to take a look at this very worthwhile
program. This is an outstanding way for Ag Societies to bring a great
event to their community, as well as make some money for their Ag
Society. Contact Glen at the office if you have any questions.
There have been three outstanding Venture Projects that the SAASE
board of directors has supported this year. Each one is outlined in the
newsletter. The Agriculture week in Meadow Lake, the Taste of the
Southwest in Swift Current, as well as the Community fair weekend
held in Biggar. Each one of these events has been a very large
undertaking by each of the Ag Societies, but they all have in common
great partnerships, and tremendous community support. We will be
showcasing these events at the annual convention in Moosomin, and I
would encourage all the Ag Societies to take a look at these examples,
and see if any one of these projects twig an idea that might be used in
your community.
This fall, SAASE, in conjunction with Sask. Ag and Food, will once
again be holding regional information meetings around Saskatchewan.
The meetings will take place in ten different communities, and I
would encourage those societies hosting the meetings to try and get as
many people out as possible.
Well that is about it from my end. I know with the weather that we
have had the harvest has been very early in some areas. I hope that
everyone has a great fall, and I look forward to speaking with you
again in December.

The Meadow Lake Ag Week was a Venture Project supported
by SAASE. Carmine Ogilvie, a member of the Meadow Lake
Ag Society, and one of the key organisers of the event, submitted
this article for the newsletter outlining the how the Meadow Lake
Ag Society organized and created partnerships to put on this great
event.
All in all, the Meadow Lake Ag Week, which took place
June 5 to 11, was a major success. The 4H Show  Sale
was one of the best ever. The Heavy Horse Pulls were
very successful. Events were well attended for the most
part unless weather played a factor.
Businesses and sponsors were very happy. The only
down side was that a few minor events were not held due
either to weather or lack of volunteers.
Organising an event of this magnitude took a great
deal of co-ordination between the various groups and
partners.
Ag Society and Stampede Association directors
attended Chamber of Commerce meetings in order
to further inform businesses of our mission. We also
utilized local papers to gather volunteers and inform the
public of our new venture.
The Ag Society and Stampede Association worked
together as partners, with the Stampede Association
handling all sponsorship and facility scheduling, worker
scheduling, and necessary ground work. This event
would have never happened without the Association’s
expertise in these areas.
Sponsorship was a major concern. The Ag Society
didn’t want to adversely affect the 4H program or the
Rodeo but needed to gather sponsorship dollars in order
to bring all these events in under the same venue.
It was decided to approach sponsors with a joint
venture theme between the Ag Society and the Stampede
Association, with the Stampede Association handling
the actual canvassing. A sponsorship platform was
established, following the Platinum, Gold etc. level of
sponsorship, with a significant increase of dollars asked
for as now the event would be a week long and sponsors
would be getting a lot more bang for their buck.
Existing rodeo and 4H sponsors were asked to at least
maintain their previous level of sponsorship to the group
and take an increase in order to put on “Ag Week”. If
existing sponsors were not able to do this, all money
went to their previous event. Because without the 4H or
Rodeo, “Ag Week” was not going to happen either.
Although the Ag Society gathered sponsors
successfully, without grants the event would have
lost money. Steps will be taken next time to ensure
some costs are cut as two of the grants are a one-time
contribution.
We tried to organize events that (1) had a youth or
4H content, and (2) were of local interest and would
encourage local entries, or at least had local content or
former residents.
We had an idea to bring the main western and/or
agricultural events together into the same week: the
District 4H Show and Sale, local 4H Achievement Days,
and the Indoor Rodeo and Bull Riding. Previously they
were a week apart. The thought was that both events
would benefit from the partnering. Then we thought if
we had to pay the rent on the facilities anyway we may as
well try having other events happening in the evenings.
In order for this to happen, the Ag Society, Rodeo
Committee, and 4H District that hosted these events had
to partner.
The Ag Society and Stampede Association set a
tentative schedule of events that included a Ranch Horse
Show, Heavy Horse Pulls, a Quad Pull with a safety
theme in the background, SBRA Barrel Racing Jackpot,
Local Team Roping Jackpot, a Family Gymkhana,
Parade, Regional 4H Light Horse Show, Dog Agility
Show, and the “It’s a Pizza!” display, as well as the local
4H Clubs’ Achievement Days and the District 4H Show
 Sale.
These events would not have happened without the
volunteers, as the Ag Society and Stampede Association
just didn’t have the manpower to organize that many
events. Getting enough volunteers to organize and staff
events was a major concern. So we decided to offer
local 4H Clubs and other groups the chance to organize
events that were in theme under the direction of the Ag
Society and Rodeo Committee. There were various levels
of commitment. Some events were completely organized
by the volunteer group or person, all the way to finding
sponsorship dollars (coordinated with the sponsorship
director). Others just organized the event and
sponsorship was gathered by the Stampede Association.
The main event that the Ag Society took responsibility
for organizing and hosting was the Heavy Horse Pulls.
By giving groups a local show and providing the facility
to put on events, we found people willing to donate their
time and expertise to events that were of interest and/or
benefited their particular group.

She has been an
inspiration to her
classmates and her
community.
The SAASE
selection committee
had a very difficult
time trying to decide
who among several
stellar nominees
would receive the
$1500 Clark Lewis
Scholarship Award.
But in the end,
Andrea Hemsley from
Sylvania represented
the kind of character
the committee was
Clark Lewis Scholarship Award Recipient Inspires Others
“Her determination in the face of adversity is
outstanding,” said one of her acquaintances.
Despite missing school when an illness left her
mostly blind a couple of years ago, Andrea was
determined to complete her class work with the high
marks she had achieved before. She also continued her
involvement in many groups including volunteering at
the Golburne Ag Society.
“I guess I’m more determined than before,” said
Andrea. “Now I put my mind to it and it gets done a
lot faster, and I’m more organized.” Andrea said she
got through this difficult time with the support of her
family and friends.
Her disability seems to have made her stronger and
more determined to help others with challenges.
“We were impressed with what she wants to do as
far as using her challenges to help other people with
the same kind of problem,” said SAASE’s Executive
Director Glen Duck.
Andrea will be attending the U of R this fall in the
K-5 elementary school program. She hopes to teach in
a rural school when she graduates.
We wish Andrea the best of luck and know she will
do well in her future endeavors.
The Clark Lewis Scholarship Award was created
earlier this year in honour of an agricultural leader
whose leadership and contributions to SAASE and its
predecessor SASA deserved a legacy scholarship in his
name. Clark Lewis passed away in March 2005.
Andrea Hemsley volunteers at the
Golburne Ag Fair and will study Education
at the U. of R. this fall
looking for in a future leader.
Andrea plans to go to the University of Regina to
become an elementary school teacher. In addition to
making the honour roll at school, Andrea has been
very active outside of school with softball, skating, a
local theatre group, the Grad SRC, and community
groups like SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving),
CHUMS (Caring Helping You and Me Sharing), YES
(Youth Empowerment Strategies), the CNIB, and the
Golburne Ag Society, who nominated her.
But the fact Andrea managed to achieve so much
in her high school years in spite of recently losing her
eyesight was truly inspiring.

The Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions
(C.A.F.E.) recently received a letter of confirmation from
the Minister of Agriculture Chuck Strahl stating that
C.A.F.E. has been awarded funding from Agriculture
and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) for the delivery of
an exciting new program entitled: Consumer Protection
Programs for Farm Animal Contact at Fairs, Exhibitions and
Shows. C.A.F.E. was awarded $1.1 million under AAFC’s
Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food
program, which focuses on enabling new ideas and
approaches that will address emerging issues.
Contamination from E. coli and other enteric
pathogens has become a potential significant risk to fairs
and exhibitions in Canada who support bringing humans
and farm animals into close proximity, such as provincial
and municipal fairs, animal exhibitions, petting zoos,
agri-tourism and agriculture in the classroom programs.
By nature, fairs, exhibitions and petting zoos present
an opportunity for human and farm animal interaction,
either planned or incidental that may result in potential
contamination, litigation, financial loss and liability
if the producers of these events and programs fail to
reduce risk and protect their visitors in a “reasonable”
manner. Recent improvements in the ability to detect E.
coli contamination and the increase in E. coli litigation
associated with fairs means that the exhibition sector in
Canada must become informed and active to safeguard
the future of our fairs.
“The issue of E. coli and other pathogen outbreaks
is of concern to the fair and exhibition industry
sector in Canada. Protecting the fair-going public is
a responsibility that C.A.F.E. and our members take
very seriously. In cooperation with our partners and
now with the support of the Federal government and
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, C.A.F.E. can
proceed with plans to deliver an exceptional program
that addresses reducing the risks associated with E. coli”,
states Rey Wosar, C.A.F.E.’s President and Assistant
General Manager at Northlands Park in Edmonton.
Project Description
The Consumer Protection Programs for Farm Animal
Contact at Fairs, Exhibitions and Shows is designed to
provide useful and interactive information and tools to
enhance consumer protection programs at events that
feature or promote human contact with farm animals.
C.A.F.E. is working in harmony with the International
Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (IAFE), to enhance
consumer protection programs at events featuring farm
animals in both Canada and the United States.
The primary focus of the C.A.F.E. program is to
deliver training workshops, which are designed to
provide Canada industry-wide training and education
activities to individual fair, exhibition and show
operators. In addition, the program will feature a
continuing education phase, designed to provide
resource materials as well as follow-up training for
program participants.
Training programs will be offered in communities
across Canada. These workshops will offer an in-depth
look at E. coli and other dangerous pathogens. The
program will provide basic information and education
pertaining to consumer protection at events that
bring humans and farm animals into close proximity.
Participants will also participate in interactive workshops
to discuss and develop site-specific tools to evaluate
facilities and develop action plans to minimize the
risk associated with pathogens at fairs and exhibitions.
Participants will leave the workshops with a “starter kit”
for creating consumer protection programs at their own
facility.
Sessions will include information on:
Understanding pathogens  analyzing your facility
Improving operational procedures
Sanitation programs  record keeping
Identifying contact zones, determining corrective
actions  developing record keeping  process
verification programs
Designing  operating a planned contact area
Developing critical documents
The C.A.F.E. program “is a bold pro-active step
to insuring that potential for E. coli contamination
is minimized and that animals can continue to be an
integral part of Canadian fairs”, says Gary McRae,
General Manager/CEO, Western Fair Association and
2006 Chairperson for IAFE.
C.A.F.E. encourages all organizations to participate
and attend one of these important and informative
consumer protection workshop programs in your
province or territory. For more information on the
program, visit www.canadian-fairs.ca or contact
C.A.F.E.’s Pathogen Prevention Program Manager,
Kimberly Haddow at 1-800-663-1714 ext. 223 or

SAASE is taking bookings for Ag Seminars again
beginning in November. Any Ag Societies interested
in booking one of these seven seminars should
give the SAASE office a call and let Glen know
what dates, as well as which seminar you would be
interested in.
To date there have been three seminars held. The
introductory and advanced grain marketing seminars were
held in Perdue and the economical feeding of beef cattle
was held in Melfort.
Once again the Ag Society pays to SAASE
$300, which gets them the instructor, audio visual
equipment, and course supplies. The Ag Society
is responsible for supplying a place to hold the
seminar, lunch and coffee, as well as getting the
participants there. The fee that is charged for the
participants is up to the Ag Society. This is a great
opportunity for an Ag Society to not only put on
a great event for the community, but also make
some money. The following is a listing of the seven
seminars that are currently available:

With an attendance of more than 1000 at the inaugural event, Taste of the Southwest achieved its goals of promoting local Saskatchewan products and providing a fun event for people of the region. “This event definitely exceeded our expectations for the first year,” said Swift Current Exhibition GM Donna Sagin. “People were impressed by the variety of foods as well as the entertainment and organized nature of the show.” Based on the same principles as Taste of Saskatchewan, Taste of the Southwest focused on restaurants, producers and caterers from southwest towns and cities including Cabri, Vanguard, Eastend, Wymark and Swift Current. Thirteen businesses participated with food samples like buffalo burgers, lamb, perogies, Baboti (a South African dish), frozen yogurt and home made Taste of the Southwest breads and buns. Tokens were sold for a $1.00 each and food samples ranged from $1.00 - $3.00 each. Visitors to Taste of the Southwest could also take in bands and singers like The Sell-outs, Ellen Kolenick and Dodie Greenwald, and linger in the beer gardens. Kids could also enjoy painting and a fish pond. The popularity of this event bodes well for future festivals. “We had good suggestions for next year and we are already planning to make the Taste of the Southwest bigger and better!” said Donna Sagin. This event would not have been possible without the support of major sponsors SAASE, the Prairie Post and Southwest TV News as well as the supporting community organizations. Committee members included representatives from Sask. Ag & Food, Community Futures, Southwest & Cypress Hills REDAs, the Swift Current Ag & Ex. and Regional Economic and Community Development. Taste of the Southwest at the Swift Current Exhibition is an example of some excellent Venture Projects taken on this year by our Ag Societies. This event demonstrates how a group of partners can work together to stage an event. There are countless ideas out there for community events and development. SAASE’s Venture Project fund is there to help support those ideas. If you have an idea for an event you would like to organize, give the SAASE office a call.

Newsletter design and layout: Simone Hoedel SAASE OFFICE The SAASE Office is located in the Canada Centre complex on the Ipsco Place (Regina Exhibition Park) grounds, next door to the Saskatchewan Livestock Association office on the 2nd floor. Visitors are always welcome—give Glen a call at 565-2121 and drop in. I hope that everyone has had a great summer since we last met. In talking to a number of Ag Societies out there I know that the fair season has certainly had mixed results. Many Ag Societies had excellent fairs, with increased attendance, but there have certainly been a number that have had tremendous challenges, especially with the Anthrax outbreak. Each situation at the affected fairs has been different, but the board of directors of each of those fairs certainly acted very responsibly in whatever decisions were made. The Clark Lewis Scholarship has been awarded for this year, and I know that the selection committee had a very difficult job. Thirteen Ag Societies nominated young people for the scholarship, but unfortunately there could only be one winner. Andrea Hemsley from Sylvania, who was nominated by the Golburn Ag Society, was the first recipient of the Scholarship. Based on the quality of the young people who were nominated I think that there is a bright future for Saskatchewan with these great young leaders of the future. The SAASE/SIAST agricultural seminars will once again be offered this fall. Inside the newsletter is a summary of which ones will be offered, as well as the content of each one. I would certainly encourage all Ag Societies to take a look at this very worthwhile program. This is an outstanding way for Ag Societies to bring a great event to their community, as well as make some money for their Ag Society. Contact Glen at the office if you have any questions. There have been three outstanding Venture Projects that the SAASE board of directors has supported this year. Each one is outlined in the newsletter. The Agriculture week in Meadow Lake, the Taste of the Southwest in Swift Current, as well as the Community fair weekend held in Biggar. Each one of these events has been a very large undertaking by each of the Ag Societies, but they all have in common great partnerships, and tremendous community support. We will be showcasing these events at the annual convention in Moosomin, and I would encourage all the Ag Societies to take a look at these examples, and see if any one of these projects twig an idea that might be used in your community. This fall, SAASE, in conjunction with Sask. Ag and Food, will once again be holding regional information meetings around Saskatchewan. The meetings will take place in ten different communities, and I would encourage those societies hosting the meetings to try and get as many people out as possible. Well that is about it from my end. I know with the weather that we have had the harvest has been very early in some areas. I hope that everyone has a great fall, and I look forward to speaking with you again in December.

  • 3. September 2006 www.saase.ca The Meadow Lake Ag Week was a Venture Project supported by SAASE. Carmine Ogilvie, a member of the Meadow Lake Ag Society, and one of the key organisers of the event, submitted this article for the newsletter outlining the how the Meadow Lake Ag Society organized and created partnerships to put on this great event. All in all, the Meadow Lake Ag Week, which took place June 5 to 11, was a major success. The 4H Show Sale was one of the best ever. The Heavy Horse Pulls were very successful. Events were well attended for the most part unless weather played a factor. Businesses and sponsors were very happy. The only down side was that a few minor events were not held due either to weather or lack of volunteers. Organising an event of this magnitude took a great deal of co-ordination between the various groups and partners. Ag Society and Stampede Association directors attended Chamber of Commerce meetings in order to further inform businesses of our mission. We also utilized local papers to gather volunteers and inform the public of our new venture. The Ag Society and Stampede Association worked together as partners, with the Stampede Association handling all sponsorship and facility scheduling, worker scheduling, and necessary ground work. This event would have never happened without the Association’s expertise in these areas. Sponsorship was a major concern. The Ag Society didn’t want to adversely affect the 4H program or the Rodeo but needed to gather sponsorship dollars in order to bring all these events in under the same venue. It was decided to approach sponsors with a joint venture theme between the Ag Society and the Stampede Association, with the Stampede Association handling the actual canvassing. A sponsorship platform was established, following the Platinum, Gold etc. level of sponsorship, with a significant increase of dollars asked for as now the event would be a week long and sponsors would be getting a lot more bang for their buck. Existing rodeo and 4H sponsors were asked to at least maintain their previous level of sponsorship to the group and take an increase in order to put on “Ag Week”. If existing sponsors were not able to do this, all money went to their previous event. Because without the 4H or Rodeo, “Ag Week” was not going to happen either. Although the Ag Society gathered sponsors successfully, without grants the event would have lost money. Steps will be taken next time to ensure some costs are cut as two of the grants are a one-time contribution. We tried to organize events that (1) had a youth or 4H content, and (2) were of local interest and would encourage local entries, or at least had local content or former residents. We had an idea to bring the main western and/or agricultural events together into the same week: the District 4H Show and Sale, local 4H Achievement Days, and the Indoor Rodeo and Bull Riding. Previously they were a week apart. The thought was that both events would benefit from the partnering. Then we thought if we had to pay the rent on the facilities anyway we may as well try having other events happening in the evenings. In order for this to happen, the Ag Society, Rodeo Committee, and 4H District that hosted these events had to partner. The Ag Society and Stampede Association set a tentative schedule of events that included a Ranch Horse Show, Heavy Horse Pulls, a Quad Pull with a safety theme in the background, SBRA Barrel Racing Jackpot, Local Team Roping Jackpot, a Family Gymkhana, Parade, Regional 4H Light Horse Show, Dog Agility Show, and the “It’s a Pizza!” display, as well as the local 4H Clubs’ Achievement Days and the District 4H Show Sale. These events would not have happened without the volunteers, as the Ag Society and Stampede Association just didn’t have the manpower to organize that many events. Getting enough volunteers to organize and staff events was a major concern. So we decided to offer local 4H Clubs and other groups the chance to organize events that were in theme under the direction of the Ag Society and Rodeo Committee. There were various levels of commitment. Some events were completely organized by the volunteer group or person, all the way to finding sponsorship dollars (coordinated with the sponsorship director). Others just organized the event and sponsorship was gathered by the Stampede Association. The main event that the Ag Society took responsibility for organizing and hosting was the Heavy Horse Pulls. By giving groups a local show and providing the facility to put on events, we found people willing to donate their time and expertise to events that were of interest and/or benefited their particular group.

  • 4. www.saase.ca September 2006 She has been an inspiration to her classmates and her community. The SAASE selection committee had a very difficult time trying to decide who among several stellar nominees would receive the $1500 Clark Lewis Scholarship Award. But in the end, Andrea Hemsley from Sylvania represented the kind of character the committee was Clark Lewis Scholarship Award Recipient Inspires Others “Her determination in the face of adversity is outstanding,” said one of her acquaintances. Despite missing school when an illness left her mostly blind a couple of years ago, Andrea was determined to complete her class work with the high marks she had achieved before. She also continued her involvement in many groups including volunteering at the Golburne Ag Society. “I guess I’m more determined than before,” said Andrea. “Now I put my mind to it and it gets done a lot faster, and I’m more organized.” Andrea said she got through this difficult time with the support of her family and friends. Her disability seems to have made her stronger and more determined to help others with challenges. “We were impressed with what she wants to do as far as using her challenges to help other people with the same kind of problem,” said SAASE’s Executive Director Glen Duck. Andrea will be attending the U of R this fall in the K-5 elementary school program. She hopes to teach in a rural school when she graduates. We wish Andrea the best of luck and know she will do well in her future endeavors. The Clark Lewis Scholarship Award was created earlier this year in honour of an agricultural leader whose leadership and contributions to SAASE and its predecessor SASA deserved a legacy scholarship in his name. Clark Lewis passed away in March 2005. Andrea Hemsley volunteers at the Golburne Ag Fair and will study Education at the U. of R. this fall looking for in a future leader. Andrea plans to go to the University of Regina to become an elementary school teacher. In addition to making the honour roll at school, Andrea has been very active outside of school with softball, skating, a local theatre group, the Grad SRC, and community groups like SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving), CHUMS (Caring Helping You and Me Sharing), YES (Youth Empowerment Strategies), the CNIB, and the Golburne Ag Society, who nominated her. But the fact Andrea managed to achieve so much in her high school years in spite of recently losing her eyesight was truly inspiring. News
  • 5. September 2006 www.saase.ca The Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (C.A.F.E.) recently received a letter of confirmation from the Minister of Agriculture Chuck Strahl stating that C.A.F.E. has been awarded funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) for the delivery of an exciting new program entitled: Consumer Protection Programs for Farm Animal Contact at Fairs, Exhibitions and Shows. C.A.F.E. was awarded $1.1 million under AAFC’s Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food program, which focuses on enabling new ideas and approaches that will address emerging issues. Contamination from E. coli and other enteric pathogens has become a potential significant risk to fairs and exhibitions in Canada who support bringing humans and farm animals into close proximity, such as provincial and municipal fairs, animal exhibitions, petting zoos, agri-tourism and agriculture in the classroom programs. By nature, fairs, exhibitions and petting zoos present an opportunity for human and farm animal interaction, either planned or incidental that may result in potential contamination, litigation, financial loss and liability if the producers of these events and programs fail to reduce risk and protect their visitors in a “reasonable” manner. Recent improvements in the ability to detect E. coli contamination and the increase in E. coli litigation associated with fairs means that the exhibition sector in Canada must become informed and active to safeguard the future of our fairs. “The issue of E. coli and other pathogen outbreaks is of concern to the fair and exhibition industry sector in Canada. Protecting the fair-going public is a responsibility that C.A.F.E. and our members take very seriously. In cooperation with our partners and now with the support of the Federal government and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, C.A.F.E. can proceed with plans to deliver an exceptional program that addresses reducing the risks associated with E. coli”, states Rey Wosar, C.A.F.E.’s President and Assistant General Manager at Northlands Park in Edmonton. Project Description The Consumer Protection Programs for Farm Animal Contact at Fairs, Exhibitions and Shows is designed to provide useful and interactive information and tools to enhance consumer protection programs at events that feature or promote human contact with farm animals. C.A.F.E. is working in harmony with the International Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (IAFE), to enhance consumer protection programs at events featuring farm animals in both Canada and the United States. The primary focus of the C.A.F.E. program is to deliver training workshops, which are designed to provide Canada industry-wide training and education activities to individual fair, exhibition and show operators. In addition, the program will feature a continuing education phase, designed to provide resource materials as well as follow-up training for program participants. Training programs will be offered in communities across Canada. These workshops will offer an in-depth look at E. coli and other dangerous pathogens. The program will provide basic information and education pertaining to consumer protection at events that bring humans and farm animals into close proximity. Participants will also participate in interactive workshops to discuss and develop site-specific tools to evaluate facilities and develop action plans to minimize the risk associated with pathogens at fairs and exhibitions. Participants will leave the workshops with a “starter kit” for creating consumer protection programs at their own facility. Sessions will include information on: Understanding pathogens analyzing your facility Improving operational procedures Sanitation programs record keeping Identifying contact zones, determining corrective actions developing record keeping process verification programs Designing operating a planned contact area Developing critical documents The C.A.F.E. program “is a bold pro-active step to insuring that potential for E. coli contamination is minimized and that animals can continue to be an integral part of Canadian fairs”, says Gary McRae, General Manager/CEO, Western Fair Association and 2006 Chairperson for IAFE. C.A.F.E. encourages all organizations to participate and attend one of these important and informative consumer protection workshop programs in your province or territory. For more information on the program, visit www.canadian-fairs.ca or contact C.A.F.E.’s Pathogen Prevention Program Manager, Kimberly Haddow at 1-800-663-1714 ext. 223 or kimberly.haddow@canadian-fairs.ca. -Canadian Fair News » » » » » » $1.1 Million AAFC Funding to C.A.F.E. will help Address E.
