Agriculture Roots Honoured at BMO
July 12, 2013 NEWS RELEASE AGRICULTURAL ROOTS HONOURED AT BMO FARM FAMILY AWARDS Calgary – On Monday morning, the Calgary Stampede and BMO Bank of Montreal held the annual Farm Family Awards ceremony and reception at the Palomino Room in the BMO Centre. Sixteen families, each representing a county or municipal district, gathered together to celebrate the values, heritage and hard work that built, and continues to build, Alberta’s rural communities and agricultural economy. Each family honoured represents a multi-generational contribution to the health of their community – not just by growing a successful agricultural business, but also by participating in the various inter-related structures that make up a vital rural society. Naturally, BMO Farm Family Awards honourees exhibit a strong sense of their place in the continuing evolution of agricultural practices, perhaps best voiced by Gary Malyk of Rocky View County, who said, “I feel a responsibility. I’m here because of the people who were here before me. There are all kinds of facets to that, like looking after the land and making sure it’s in better shape when I’m done with it.” The common bond for all who earned a BMO Farm Family Award is their love and passion for what they do. Farming or ranching is a life like no other and requires character and determination. According to David Bruketa of the M.D. of Foothills, No. 31, “It facilitates strength of character. You can’t affect outcomes as much as you learn to adapt to reality and to circumstances.” Every year, the counties, municipal districts and special areas across southern Alberta – from Red Deer south – nominate one family to receive the BMO Farm Family Award. -
