Victoria Arthur became involved with the club this past year after hearing many great things about CanACT from her fellow peers. She is a general director as well as the clubs webmaster.  She is in her third year of a bachelor in science, majoring in Animal Biology.  

Before attending the university of Guelph the only contact she had with the agricultural world was through her love of horseback riding and a few of her friends from home who were farmers.  Her time at university and with CanACT has helped to open her eyes to the full scope of the agricultural world, and all the careers and advancements that are being made each day.

Her future aspirations involve the agricultural world, but she is still exploring all the different venues that exist today.  Currently she is most interested in the advancement of the genetics and reproduction aspects in agriculture. 

Along with a fellow CanACT member she is a spearheading partnership initiative with Ontario Agri-Food Education Inc (OAFE). The intent is to have members of CanACT as youth advisors on the OAFE board.  It’s a great opportunity and she is very excited to be a part of it! 

“I think CanACT is an excellent opportunity for any student, farming background or otherwise, to expand upon their knowledge of the agricultural world, and maybe even pursue a career they never knew existed.  There are many wonderful experiences to be had if one simply gets involved.’
