Agricultural Service Board

Agricultural Service Boards (ASBs) are unique to Alberta, with over 75 years of promoting sustainable agriculture. Operating under the Agricultural Service Board Act, ASBs are responsible for enforcing five separate pieces of legislation and their associated regulations. Serving as advisory bodies, ASBs assist both the Council and the Minister of Agriculture in addressing matters of concern within the agriculture industry. The Northern Sunrise County ASB plays a crucial role in guiding the County's agriculture programs, promoting sustainable agriculture, and addressing policy concerns.
