The Region 7 (AB) Convention 

in-person event

August 3, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 7:00 pm Alberta

Join us on Saturday, August 3rd in La Glace, AB for the Region 7 (AB) National Farmers Union Convention! This is your chance to connect with members in the region, learn about what’s happening in the NFU, hear from engaging speakers, develop policy and strategy, and elect representatives. Everyone is welcome to attend, but only farmer and farm worker members who reside in Alberta may run for regional council positions or vote in elections and resolutions processes. Find all the details of the day below!

Admission: $20 suggested donation at the door via cash or cheque.

Accommodations: Free camping is available at the Eggers’ farm. Here are the directions from the Twilight Centre: Turn north onto HWY 724 and exit town. Continue up the hill on 724 for a little more than 1 km before the bush on the right (east) side. Turn right onto the lease road. Go down the lease road 400 m and turn left (north). You will see the house 300 m away. Bathrooms and showers are available on site. Contact Peter Eggers at 1-780-568-3805 if you have any questions. There are also several hotel and motel options in Grande Prairie, a 30 minute drive away. 

Food: We will have potluck lunch and supper together. Please bring items to share. There is a fully stocked kitchen on site with a fridge, oven, microwave, grill, dishes and utensils available.

Transportation: If you would like to find or offer a ride to La Glace, please use this google spreadsheet to connect with others. Contact Region 7 Youth Rep, Adama Bundu (ADAMABUNDU10@gmail.com) if further support is needed.

Regional Resolutions: May be submitted by any Region 7 (AB) farmer or farm-worker member in good standing to Glenn Norman at GRN_COLLIES@hotmail.com. We encourage AB members to submit their resolutions as far in advance as possible, however we will also accept resolutions from the floor at the convention.
