entire schedule, coming workshops only (PDF). In addition to our Training Courses, Valacta provides dairy producers and industry partners with a series of workshops targeting practical solutions immediately applicable at the farm.
Given by the Valacta Strategic Advisors, with industry partners' representatives when applicable, these workshops last half a day (2,5 to 3 hours), are given on-farm, to groups of generally 10 to 15 people.
In the spring and summer of 2008, across Quebec, more than 50 workshops were given to more than 400 participants, and this is only a beginning. This formula is getting very popular. Please note that Valacta workshops are not yet available in the Atlantic Provinces.
