President’s word

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the website of the AEAQ.

Our association’s mission is to promote, supervise and support the development of the province’s agricultural exhibition network. We are present in the interest of all and we work together to ensure that these events, which are rooted in our family traditions and in the history of Quebec, continue to exist.

Our desire is to offer you a quality experience while continuing to contribute to the dynamism of our regions. Our goal has always been to bring the public closer to us, to make them aware and to please them by offering them this proximity and this contact with farm animals and the world of agriculture during our large family celebrations.

In order for these popular, educational, entertaining and original events to remain a place of exchange, sharing and encounters between the city and the country, we must be sensitive to the requests and comments of our visitors. People like agricultural exhibitions. That’s why we listen to what people say about them and work to keep them talking. Don’t they say that the world brings the world. Let’s work to keep it that way!

To all our agricultural exhibitions, I wish to be able to collaborate with partners of choice and to have the support of the most important actors in the field. This is how you will best be able to capitalize on your strengths and stand out by focusing on the unique reality of each of your regions and on the values they embody. Our challenge is clear; it is to enhance the value of the agricultural world through lively, educational and recreational activities in a friendly, country atmosphere.

To all Quebecers, I invite you to take the time to stop by one of our exhibitions, as more than 1.1 million visitors do every year. Take advantage of this opportunity to have fun while reconnecting with your roots and exchanging with our local breeders and producers!

We look forward to seeing many of you at our summer activities.

André Labonté,
President
