“Growing Home” is an initiative from BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions to support organizations that are the lifeblood of their rural communities. One organization in each of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario will receive $25,000 to further their important work.
Voting is open to the public to determine which of the three finalists in each province will receive a $25,000 investment. Below are two projects in the southern-southeastern area. Visit agsolutions.ca/growinghome to place your vote! The voting period will close April 15 and winners will be announced April 30.
Bengough Agricultural Society: The Bengough Agricultural Society was established in 1916 and has provided ground and agricultural activities in our community and area ever since. We have been fundraising for a new building that would provide shelter, a kitchen and bathrooms with a running water system. They have secured funds to start construction of the exterior building this spring.
Further financing is required to complete the project. This building will enhance the events held at our agricultural grounds. Currently we host high school rodeos, bull riding, amateur rodeo, horse shows, barrel racing and more. Their goal is to continue to provide a venue for these activities and events for future generations.
