BMO – Farm Family Award Nominations Now Open!

November 15, 2023

The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, in partnership with BMO, is once again pleased to recognize the outstanding farm families in Manitoba with the 2024 BMO Manitoba Farm Family Awards.

These awards have been a regular part of the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair for several years, were created to promote a renewed urban-rural relationship and to recognize outstanding Manitoba farm families who best exemplify the value of the family farm.

This year’s BMO Manitoba Farm Family Award recipients will be announced and recognized during the 2024 Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, scheduled to run from March 25, 2024, to March 30th, 2024 in Brandon’s Keystone Centre.

“For many years, BMO has been a proud supporter of the Canadian agriculture community and the BMO Farm Family Awards,” says Leah Weatherill, Head of Agriculture, BMO Commercial Bank. “It’s evident that all of the families recognized share the same passion, strong business skills and continue to build on generational knowledge needed to thrive.”

Nominations for the 2024 BMO Manitoba Farm Family Awards are now open and families can be nominated by friends, family or other members of the community by visiting www.provincialexhibition.com

“Manitoba farm families contribute to both the province and their respective communities in many significant ways,” says Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba General Manager, Mark Humphries. “We’re honoured to have the opportunity to work with BMO in helping to recognize these outstanding members of our community.”

This year’s three winning families will be recognized during an evening performance of the Fair in Westoba Place.
