“Every inductee acknowledged the vital role of teamwork in their careers and accomplishments, and that clearly emphasizes the humble nature of these tremendous individuals,” says Guy Charbonneau, president of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame Association.
Charbonneau went on to say Canadians enjoy a “rich and innovative agri-food sector and these five men have all laid game-changing groundwork through their various roles in the agriculture sector.
“Our industry and our reputation are stronger because each of these individuals have dedicated their careers, their innovation and their leadership to Canadian agriculture,” he added.
CAHFA came about in 1960 and to this day honours and celebrates Canadians for outstanding contributions to the agriculture and food industry. To nominate someone for the 2019 awards, you can do so by clicking here to read the requirements.
