Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame Nominations

Thank you for considering a nomination to the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame. The mission of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame Association is to honour and celebrate Canadians for outstanding contributions to the agriculture and food industry, and to publicize the importance of their achievements to Canadians.


This nomination form will help guide you through the process. Please read carefully and complete with the utmost consideration for accuracy.


Candidates are selected for induction based on their career and volunteer contributions to Canadian agriculture. The review committee will look for demonstrated leadership, achievements, results, benefits and innovations accrued to agriculture on a Canadian or broader basis.

To be eligible for recognition:

  • Candidates must have made significant contributions on a national or international basis (not just provincially).
  • Candidates must have demonstrated a clear vision for the future of agriculture in Canada. Nominators must document this vision, outline successes towards achievement of this vision, and identify any obstacles that were overcome to achieve this vision.
  • Candidates must have a lasting legacy for Canadian agriculture, with an impact that extends to the broader industry.
