Staff & Board

I love knowing that AITC-M’s school programs and resources help contribute to a more informed society where consumers and voters can make smart decisions about the food they eat, and the role that agriculture plays in feeding the world.

I enjoy being able to combine my enthusiasm for inquiry-based learning and agriculture to create and deliver accurate, balanced and current hands-on programs and resources for Manitoba educators and students.

As a teacher myself, I understand the need for relevant and engaging resources to effectively deliver accurate information to our students. I'm thrilled to be able to connect educators and industry leaders to help shape the next generation of informed participants in agriculture and society.

I want to educate students on the importance of agriculture and how it affects our everyday lives. This industry provides so many opportunities, I hope all students can see themselves pursuing a career in agriculture.

I feel privileged to be a part of AITC-M and the amazing experience of watching the eyes of students light up when they learn something new about agriculture, the importance of food, and where their food comes from.

I grew up on a farm and experienced firsthand where food comes from. I want more students to have that opportunity so they can make informed decisions and think critically about what they hear about food and farming.

I am extremely passionate about my community and our incredible agriculture industry. I am also deeply committed to education. Combining these two at AITC-M is a powerful driver for my ongoing commitment to our province and our students.

I come from an agricultural background, and I have seen the disconnect between consumers and their food. I hope to help educate students about agriculture so they can fully understand its importance.

In my career as a teacher, I was always looking for engaging programs and activities that made learning exciting. I found that with AITC-M and Little Green Thumbs. Now I’m thrilled to be a part of AITC-M, and “growing” their gardening programs to help reach and support as many educators as possible!

Once a city girl, now a farmer – I am passionate about agriculture. Through AITC-M programs, I look forward to sharing positive information about food production with children, parents and educators!

Farm raised. Farm fed. Farm fueled. AITC-M allows me to share my passion for ag!

AITC-M does amazing work by creating synergy between the agricultural community and educators. Having a better understanding of agriculture is important for everyone.

I'm proud to serve on the Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba Board of Directors because I believe in our vision. Together, we are developing a deeper appreciation of the importance of agriculture to our province's social and economic wellbeing.

Since today’s students are our future leaders, decision-makers and voters, I feel it is important that they have an understanding and appreciation of where their food comes from and how vital agriculture is to our communities. AITC-M works hard to provide opportunities for teachers and students to learn about agriculture, and I am very proud to be a part of it.

Growing up on a farm, I got first hand knowledge on how food is grown and raised. I think work by AITC-M is crucial to ensure that knowledge continues to be delivered to those that don’t have that strong connection to the farm. 

I believe it’s critically important for students to have the seeds of knowledge of agriculture planted in classrooms across the province. I’m proud of my farm and agriculture background and support the amazing work done by AITC-M.

I believe that through education, our youth will come to better understand where our food comes from, both locally and globally, and how they may play a role in keeping our food supply sustainable for future generations. I am proud to be a part of AITC-M as they work to share this message.

I am passionate about Canadian agriculture and the people who work in this industry!  AITC-M shares that passion and the positive story of farmers and how they are committed to growing safe food for society. If you believe in Canadian agriculture and the people who make it happen, you simply must promote and encourage the efforts of AITC-M.

Growing up near my grandparent’s farm, I had the opportunity to learn about agriculture from a young age. This led to my passion for building agriculture literacy through storytelling, hands-on learning activities, training and food. I’m proud to support AITC-M in their work to ensure Manitoba students have the same opportunity.

I have a deep respect for agriculture, our Industry and lifestyle from working within the Ag Industry but also by participating on our family farm. Food, eating and nourishment is something we all unanimously have a connection to, but how that food is grown is a big unknown for many. 

Growing up on a farm and working in industry, I’ve been fortunate to see the benefits agriculture provides to our way of life, economy, and environment. Not everyone has this opportunity and that’s where AITC-M comes in! I am proud to support AITC-M inspire future leaders, innovators, consumers, and workers about the many opportunities in agriculture.

I grew up in the city, but the family vegetable farm was a short bike ride away. Since then, I've watched the distance grow between Manitobans and food production. Getting involved with AITC-M is the best way I know to build awareness about the importance of agriculture for the next generation.

I love food, science and am excited to help students learn how to eat healthy food.
