Championing all things agriculture is what we do best, and by supporting 4H youth who are interested in expanding their knowledge and skill, we’re helping to nurture new generations of producers.
To ensure this, The Airdrie and District Agricultural Society
has offered scholarship programs to deserving students, chosen for their academic
performance and keen interest in the industry.
As well, ADAS is equally proud to support the Rural Education
and Development Association (REDA) program by sending local youth to their camp
annually. We’ve also ensured 4H students are able to attend the national
4H Exchange Program as well as provided funding for general resources and expenses.
