National conference of the Canadian Farm Writers Federation

September 18-20, 2025
Fort Garry Hotel, Winnipeg

Join us in Manitoba, the historic hub of Prairie agriculture, as we explore this year’s CFWF conference theme: Learning from the Past, Growing for the Future.

Through tours and speakers, we’ll learn more about how this region continues to build the foundation for today’s, and tomorrow’s, agri-food industry. Our home base will be the century-old Fort Garry Hotel in downtown Winnipeg, just steps away from the heart of the Canadian grain industry and major entertainment venues.

Stay tuned for more program and registration details.
