Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C) has made changes to its leadership team.
Denise Schmidt steps into the role of executive director ready to strengthen the foundation of agricultural literacy across Canada. Raised with a deep appreciation for Canadian agriculture, Schmidt brings decades of experience connecting industry, producers, associations and government.
Most recently, she served as senior director of North American Canola Business and Industry Affairs at Cibus, where she helped shape partnerships and policies to support the success of the broader ag sector.
Her background in agronomy, marketing, and business development positions her well to guide AITC-C’s next chapter of support — anchored in the values of education, collaboration, and community.
