Rural Roots Canada

In this episode of the Rural Roots Canada podcast, hosts Tim Parent and Craig Lester check in from a snowy Calgary and a busy Lethbridge to talk all things Ag Expo, a cornerstone event in Western Canadian agriculture now held at the stunning Lethbridge Agri-Food Hub and Trade Centre (1:42). As Craig reports from the event, he shares insights from Paul Kingsmith of Exhibition Park Lethbridge, who highlights how the event has evolved into a true business-to-business showcase featuring over 300 exhibitors from across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia.  The episode also shines a light on the BASF Growing Home Initiative, which supports rural projects across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario (6:23). It's an episode that captures the heart of rural life, innovation, and connection across Canada’s ag community.
