In 2026, we are celebrating AgScape’s 35th year bringing agriculture and food education to Ontario classrooms in addition to 15 years of our Teacher Ambassador Program (TAP). TAP was launched in September 2011 at Canada's Outdoor Farm Show and has continued to grow with AgScape into today.

In the early years of TAP, we grew a team of 25 dedicated Teacher Ambassadors, shifted to focus our programming on grade 7-12 students, and introduced a careers component to our lessons. All of these milestones have carried us into the present day and helped shape TAP into what it is now.

To learn more about TAP, visit: tap.agscape.ca

Next Tuesday, January 27, AgScape will be attending the Brock University Experience Expo! 🚀

We are looking forward to connecting students with our agriculture and food career resources as they discover rewarding opportunities in the industry. See you there!

This past December, AgScape delivered 135 Teacher Ambassador Program (TAP) workshops to students across 24 school boards, in addition to 5 private school classrooms.

We are pleased to have engaged over 3,200 students across Ontario last month through TAP, where skilled educators enrich classrooms with agriculture and food literacy through free, curriculum-linked workshops.

We are pleased to announce that 2026 marks AgScape’s 35th year empowering Ontario youth to understand their connection to agriculture and food. On April 15, 1991, AgScape (formerly known as Ontario Agri-Food Education Inc.) was incorporated under the Agricultural and Horticultural Organizations Act. Our initial mission to build awareness of our agriculture and food system has carried us into present day.

In our 35th year, we are celebrating where we began and where we are today through honouring our roots and growing into tomorrow. We look forward to sharing this journey with you in 2026!
