REGINA — Saskatchewan joins with other provinces across the nation in proclaiming Aug. 5 as Food Day Canada. The day is an opportunity to celebrate Canada's farmers, ranchers, processors, chefs, researchers and home cooks.
This year is the 20th anniversary of Food Day Canada. There are several ways to get involved in Food Day Canada. Try a new recipe, dine at your favourite local restaurant or share your stories and pictures online by using #FoodDayCanada and tagging @FoodDayCanada. For more information, visit fooddaycanada.ca.
Saskatchewan has a diverse agriculture and agri-food sector and is known worldwide as a reliable supplier of safe, high-quality food ingredients. In 2022, the province exported $18.5 billion in agri-food products. Saskatchewan is also seeing tremendous growth in value-added agriculture as part of an effort to process more of what we grow in the province by 2030.
