Nearly 300 partners, agricultural producers, and stakeholders from the agricultural and agri-food sectors met Thursday in Waterloo to take part in the annual golf tournament to raise funds for Au coeur des familles agricoles. Organized in collaboration with the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA), the tournament was hosted by honorary president René Moreau, president of dairy giant Agropur. The event raised close to $35,000 to support local agricultural producers. See full story in the Monday, August 20 edition of The Record.
