Six new individuals will be inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame to recognize their contributions to Canadian agriculture. The inductees include John Anderson, Dori Gingera-Beauchemin, Gaétan Desroches, Joe Hudson, Dennis Laycraft and Peter Sikkema.
“Every year we welcome inductees who have made impactful contributions across so many segments of Canada’s agriculture industry,” says Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame chair Phil Boyd. “As our industry continues to innovate and advance, it’s important to reflect and recognize the lifetime contributions these individuals have made to strengthening the world-class agri-food industry we enjoy in Canada. Our 2025 inductees reflect groundbreaking work in primary production, value-added and food retail, policy making, commodity organizations, cooperatives, research and extension.”
The selected individuals will be officially inducted on November 8 in Victoria, B.C at an induction dinner and portrait unveiling ceremony. These portraits will be showcased at the Royal Winter Agricultural Fair in Toronto.
