Delivered by the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) and presented by Farm Credit Canada, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Week is an annual campaign held the third week of March of each year. Safe & Strong Farms is a three-year campaign celebrating farm safety across Canada. The aim of the campaign is to empower farmers, farm families and farming communities to build, grow, and lead the agricultural industry in safety and sustainability.
