Ag Days Attendees to Step Into the Future of Agriculture at the Dome

During Manitoba Ag Days, one building just outside the Keystone Centre will be buzzing with conversation, connection, and curiosity about the future of agriculture. 

From January 20 to 22, Agriculture in the Classroom - Manitoba (AITC-M) will transform the Dome Building into an interactive agriculture education and engagement hub, open daily from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. 

The Dome invites Ag Days attendees, industry partners, and the public to participate in hands-on activities, enjoy complimentary refreshments, and learn how agricultural education is helping prepare the next generation of Manitoba’s ag and agri-food workforce. 

“Agriculture is evolving rapidly, and the expectations placed on our industry are growing,” says Katharine Cherewyk, Executive Director of AITC-M. “The Dome gives people a chance to step away from the trade show floor, have meaningful conversations, and see how education plays a critical role in the future of agriculture.” 

As a non-profit, charitable organization, AITC-M connects Kindergarten to Grade 12 students with agriculture through classroom learning resources, experiential programs, and career exploration opportunities. Working alongside farmers, producers, agribusinesses, educators, and industry leaders, the organization helps youth understand where their food comes from, how agriculture impacts their daily lives, and the wide range of careers available across Manitoba’s ag and agri-food sector.
