Canadian Western Agribition and BMO awarded its first inaugural Celebrating Women in Agriculture award to Belinda Wagner from Edenwold, SK.

Wagner has been a builder and mentor in the agriculture sector in Saskatchewan for over 25 years and was very honoured by the award.

"There are many people that would be deserving of the award," she said. "I think that many of us of my age demographic have been involved. We didn't think about it as being a gender-based thing that we were doing we just did it. We love it, and we love the industry, we love working with the people, and it's a way of life for us."

During her career, she has worked with the Saskatchewan Angus Association, Saskatchewan Livestock Association, Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association, Canadian Junior Angus Association, and Canadian Angus Foundation.
