Who Are We?
Fairs are living reflections of the life and times around them, rooted in agriculture and volunteer-driven. They hold deep cultural, traditional and emotional connections to the people of their local area and define a sense of community that grows social capital and quality of life. Fair organizations positively impact their communities through the events they plan, the assets they hold and the traditions and values they nurture.
Our members are comprised of the agricultural societies and organizations that produce fairs, and those fairs’ partners in production such as exhibitors, vendors, entertainers.
Vision:
The Canadian Association of Fairs & Exhibitions will lead a thriving national industry which represents cultural, traditional & emotional connections to all Canadians providing significant benefits for the communities we serve.
Mission:
Foster excellence in leadership within the Canadian fair industry by
· developing programs, resources and services
· building relationships and partnerships with key stakeholders.
· encouraging collaboration and innovation
· collectively raising the awareness and profile of the industry
