The Klondike Harvest Fair
The Yukon Agricultural Association put on their annual fair this past weekend at Shipyards Park in Whitehorse.
Archie made a speech (he IS a politician, and he IS in charge of the Agriculture Dept) and mentioned his government's new policy that will guide this industry into a larger and more diversified future. Said policy was - of course - developed in consultation with everyone who could possibly be interested (the word is 'stakeholders'). This Agriculture Policy Framework has lured more Federal dollars to the Yukon, to help with food safety, quality, risk management, etc.
Also, it may be useful to know that Archie's Agriculture Dept supports this very same Harvest Fair, and the Fireweed Farmers Market; financial $$$ to help farmers bring land back into production... and the FIRST APPROVED CHEESE MAKING FACILITY in the Yukon!
