November 28 Supporting the Werklund Agriculture Institute (WAI) After the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday is a time to celebrate and encourage activities that support charities and not for profits. With the support of our alumni, friends, industry and government partners, and other friends of Olds College, we will establish the Werklund Agriculture Institute (WAI), a hub for leadership, education and applied research in smart agriculture. The WAI includes four components: the Werklund Growth Centre, a Thought Leader in smart agriculture and sustainability, a Producer Mentor Program, and a Agriculture & Food Enterprise.

For every three dollars donated to the Werklund Agriculture Institute, the project will receive one dollar via matching incentives established by David Werklund and Susan Norman. Once established, the WAI will be self-sustaining through a sustainability fund that will be established as part of funds raised. Go beyond with us: oldscollege.ca/beyond
