The Lethbridge and District Agricultural Society has been keeping busy.
Director Cody McIntosh said the team has been hard at work, with the board of directors focusing on its primary objectives, including engaging with the community.
“There’s been a lot of behind-the-scenes work with strategic work and business planning work that’s been going on, but now we’re actually here in the community and hearing from the residents,” McIntosh said.
The society is a part of this week’s annual Ag Expo at the Lethbridge Trade and Convention Centre. McIntosh said events like Ag Expo are a great way to connect with residents.

McIntosh added that the group’s strategic plan aims to plan their goals for the next six months to a year. “We’re all excited to not only be in the boardroom making the plan, but out on the floor, talking to people and delivering these events,” he said.
