Plans are well underway for CFA’s 2019 Annual General Meeting, set for February 27 – 28, in Ottawa at the Marriott Hotel. More than 200 delegates and observers will convene to explore policy issues and industry priorities at sessions designed around the theme “Producing Prosperity.”

Producing Prosperity

This year’s AGM theme is “Producing Prosperity” – recognizing how investments in rural Canada can have benefits for urban Canadians, the environment, newly-landed immigrants and for Canada as a whole. The Producing Prosperity campaign will continue throughout the election year as CFA advocates and keeps agriculture top of mind for all Federal parties.
