Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C) elected four new Board Executive Officers during its 8th Annual General Meeting. AITC-C represents 10 provincial members dedicated to delivering agriculture education to students and teachers across the nation. These organizations also appoint a representative to sit on AITC-C’s Board of Directors.

The new executive includes Mathieu Rouleau of École-O-Champ as vice-chair, Charlotte Flores of Agriculture in the Classroom New Brunswick as secretary, and Luree Williamson of Agriculture for Life as treasurer. Rebecca Sooksom of Agriculture in the Classroom Nova Scotia takes on the role of chair.

Sooksom, a champion for agriculture education, has been working for the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture for the past 13 years.
