AgSafe BC: Celebrating Resilience in Agriculture at Greendale Acres

The impacts of the Sumas Prairie floods didn’t end when the water went down. For many farmers, farm families, and individuals in the agricultural community, the experience continues to bring stress, uncertainty, loss, and difficult emotions. If you or someone you care about has been affected by the floods, AgSafe BC and AgLife invite you to take some time for yourself, connect with others, and learn about the mental wellness support available to you. 📍 Greendale Acres 📅 September 27, 2026 🕐 1:00–6:00 pm Join us for a welcoming afternoon where you can meet with AgSafe counsellors, connect with other producers and community members, enjoy a meal, and learn more about free, confidential counselling for BC farmers and their families.
