The AgCoalition in Review An Update from the Alberta Agriculture Farm and Ranch Safety Coalition

What’s Happening with the Government Consultation Tables

The AgCoalition Gears up for the Government Table Consultation Process

As introduced in the previous update, an immediate focus area for the newly formed AgCoalition was

responding to the announced Bill 6 government table consultation process. Co-Chairs for the

AgCoalition, Kent Erickson and Page Stuart, initiated meetings with the Agriculture Minister and

supporting staff to express the AgCoalitions resolve to meaningfully participate in the consultations with

a unified voice for the agricultural sector. The initial discussions centered on improving the consultation

process and advocating for appropriate representation from the agricultural sector at the consultation

tables.

Early on, AgCoalition Co-Chairs Kent Erickson and Page Stuart (shown above) met at the

Ministerial level with government to represent agricultural sector inputs on the intended

table consultation processes, and took a leadership role in the coordination of a province wide

effort for agricultural producers to provide expert feedback into the consultation process.

After the agricultural sector formed the Alberta Agriculture Farm and Ranch Safety Coalition (the

AgCoaltion) in the morning of January 22, 2016, the newly formed coalition had intensive sessions on

the same afternoon to inform the consultation process. These inputs were summarized and provided

valuable guidance on the various focus areas to be covered in the consultation process. Additionally,

under the auspices of the AgCoalition, the Industry Leadership Advisory Committee (ILAC) was formed

to engage producers in three locations across the province to provide additional guidance. This

provided nominees, negotiating at the government consultation tables on behalf of the agricultural

industry, with a solid grounding on where the industry was positioned on various topics.

The purpose of this Coalition is to provide an effective mechanism for primary producer organizations to work together and provide a unified voice in the ongoing development of a culture that support safe and healthy farms and ranches in Alberta.


We strongly believe in safe and healthy farms. This is where we live and work. Our lifestyle is valued and important to us.

We are willing to innovate and apply safety improvement practices that are informed by agricultural experience and proven safety methods.

We are accountable for our safety performance, and will track agriculture industry safety performance using simple, practical and objective methodologies.
