Organizers of Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) in Regina are optimistic this event will go ahead.

CWA CEO Chris Lane said planning is continuing for the 50th annual show and said the province’s decision to start reopening gives them hope.

“Agribition is such a massive marketplace for the commerce of agriculture. It is not just a public event or just an entertainment event,” Lane said. “We feel we’ve got a real obligation to exhibitors and producers to make sure that if it is at all possible for Agribition to be held as normal that we’re ready to do it.”

Lane said along with the regular activities some special events have been planned to celebrate the milestone for the show.

“On the livestock side, having all the national breed shows coming to Agribition, that’s never happened before and from the purebred livestock side of business that’s unprecedented,” he said. “From the public entertainment and engagement side of things, we have a couple of fun events planned that I think will get people pretty excited to come through the doors.”
