Learning for a Lifetime
Bridges to Agriculture is a partnership between the Avon Maitland District School Board. the Huron -Perth Catholic District Shaul
Board and various community members and agricultural organizations within Huron and Perth Counties. The project focus is to
bring together senior secondary school students who are interested in pursuing agricultural careers with our Agri -business
community. Major funding for this project is provided by the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training. Since 1999. students from
ten different secondary schools throughout Huron and Perth Counties have participated. We have now completed Year 2 of Bridges
to Agriculture and wish to thank all of the partners who have helped to ensure the success of our program.
