Each year, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture organizes several farm safety projects. Below you will find details of our recent farm safety awareness activities. 

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW)  

“Plan • Farm • Safety” is the three-year theme of the Canadian Agricultural Safety campaign. Each aspect of the theme is being promoted with a year-long campaign. This next campaign runs from March 11-17, 2012. This year, the focus is on "Safety", including assessment, improvement and further development of safety systems. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) and Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) deliver CASW in partnership with Farm Credit Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
