Visit the dairy research facility where innovations for the future of Canadian dairy farms are developed and tested.  Join us for a guided, interactive 90-minute walkthrough of the Ontario Dairy Research Centre in Elora, North America’s most advanced dairy barn. The tour includes a special presentation of research results and ongoing projects to support sustainable production as well as animal health and welfare. You will also have the opportunity to speak with the researchers leading projects to support Canada's national dairy research strategy. After the tour, enjoy a catered lunch at the farm.

We will be following the Ontario Dairy Research Centre and Dairy Farmers of Canada biosecurity requirements on the farm. Prior to going on farm, participants will need to declare that they have not been:
