| | The Classroom Agriculture Program (CAP) teaches Grade 4 students the importance of agriculture in their daily lives. Since 1985, more than 550,000 Albertan students have participated in CAP. Recently, Karen Spelay was named the new CAP coordinator.
She has a background in public education, volunteer management and communications, as well as experience in the agriculture and agri-business industry. Her most recent position was with The City of Calgary where she worked as a public education advisor. CAP is composed of one hour, hands-on presentations delivered by volunteers from across the province. The program offers rural and urban elementary students a unique opportunity to learn about the tradition and future of agriculture. A list of spring 2010 CAP volunteers is currently being compiled. If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please contact Spelay at capcoordinator@albertabeef.org or at 403-710-1959. CAP is a multi-commodity initiative endorsed by the Minister of Education and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development . |
