NSIA Annual Meeting POSTPONED
NSIA is following the COVID-19 situation very closely and following all public health recommendations related to meetings and other gatherings. Therefore, we have decided to unfortunately postpone the upcoming Annual Meeting, originally scheduled for April 29, 2020. When a new date has been decided on, we will notify members with this information.
We have also made the decision to postpone the Honours and Awards Banquet, originally to be held in the evening after the Annual Meeting, to now occur after the Semi-Annual meeting on November 18th, 2020 at the Holiday Inn. This gives members more time to make nominations for these awards! Nominations can now be placed up until October 1, 2020.

NSIA Semi-Annual Meeting
10th Annual CFGA Conference and Pre-Conference Technical Workshop
The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) is offering an invitation prior to the 10th Annual CFGA Conference for the Annual Pre-Conference Technical Workshop.
These technical workshops have become in integral component of the CFGA Annual Conference. Started in Winnipeg at the 2016 event, Technical Workshops have focused on key issues and/or projects that the CFGA is working on and have been used to bring forage industry practitioners from across the country together to discuss trends, concepts and challenges that the industry is facing.
Feedback from forage sector researchers from across Canada has highlighted some difficulty in securing students interested in pursuing Post-Secondary degrees in the forage field. In an early attempt to address this challenge, the CFGA has teamed up with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to host student engagement exercises throughout the conference week. Students will be on hand during the technical workshops and at a special reception following the days events on November 12th, and will be encouraged to attend the remainder of the conference.
