The goal of the AFWA Legacy Project is to raise awareness and educate secondary and post-secondary students about careers in agricultural journalism and communications, as well as the importance of communications in all facets of the agri-food industry.

A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER SOLSTICE TOUR

AFWA tours southern Alberta

​

The clouds parted and the sun shone down upon the annual Alberta Farm Writers’ Association summer tour and Annual General Meeting, held Wednesday June 19 to Friday, June 21, 2024.

​

No AFWA event would be complete if the group hadn’t gathered for a brewery tour. Luckily the 2024 tour kicked off on Wednesday evening at the Theoretical Brewing company founded by Kris Fischer and Kelti Baird. As friends and home-brew enthusiasts, Kris and Kel began a journey in 2012 that would ultimately lead from brewing on the back deck of a west-side house to the establishment and growth of Lethbridge’s first micro-brewery, opening its doors in December 2015.
