Each year, the Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame celebrates the outstanding contributions of four individuals who have significantly influenced the agriculture industry in Atlantic Canada. Producers, innovators, volunteers, scientists, and business professionals are recognized for their impact at the local, national, and international levels.

Established in 1968, the Hall of Fame honors one individual from each of the four Atlantic Provinces during an annual induction ceremony and reception hosted by Dalhousie’s Faculty of Agriculture every October.

Nova Scotia - Earl R. Kidston, Class of 1969

This year’s induction ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 15th at 1:00 p.m. in the Alumni Theatre, Cumming Hall on the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus.
