The mandate of the Airdrie and District Agricultural Society is to promote agriculture and agriculture related activities in the community. To do this, we rely on the dedication of qualified board members, members, volunteers and employees who help create a successful ADAS experience.

Our focus also includes the greater community of Airdrie. For example, the ADAS was instrumental in promoting the construction of the Twin Arenas in Airdrie. Not only did this move expand the chances for more children and user groups to take advantage of the ice surfaces, it also offered greater access and convenience for residents in surrounding areas.

To further promote the importance of knowledge and education, ADAS also offers post-secondary scholarships to two students per year who wish to pursue study in the field of agriculture or other industries.
