On February 12th, CanACT had Bette Jean Crews, Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) president, and Colleen Smith, executive director of Ontario Agri-Food Education (OAFE), come to campus to discuss "Food Freedom Day" -the day when the average Canadian has made enough money to pay all their food expenses for the entire year. This lively and interactive dialogue addressed the overlap between agricultual communications and agricultural education, and how we can use events like Food Freedom Day to educate people about issues in agriculture and raise awareness of how it impacts everyday life.

Alison Besley of AgCareers.com & Norm Sutherland of Syngenta led a pre-networking-breakfast workshop in January on Building Networking Skills, giving us the insiders' scoop on how to stand apart from our colleagues and exhibit a professional edge that might just land us our dream job.

Guest speaker Andrew Douglas, who spent eight years as an editor at Country Guide magazine, came and spoke to us about “how to get published”. CanACT would like to sent out a big thanks to Andrew, and hope that he enjoys his new CanACT coffee mug (thumbs up!)
