March 3-9, 2013
This year marks the second Canadian Agriculture Literacy Week and the sixth Agriculture Literacy Week in Nova Scotia.
In Nova Scotia, Ag Literacy Week听is simply a time听when school children are encouraged to celebrate agriculture in our province by reading books about farming.听Last year, 74 volunteers from agricultural sectors across the province went into 89 grade 2 and 3 classrooms across Nova Scotia to read to school children and donate books and other educational resources about farming.
This annual event is an educational initiative of the Nova Scotia Agricultural Awareness Committee 听听 Again in 2013, with the support of Farm Credit Canada, classrooms across the county will be celebrating the second Canadian Agriculture Literacy Week with a variety of activities.
If you are interested in volunteering to read to a grade 2 or 3 class or would like further information please contact:
