It was no easy task switching to a virtual format — but the Dauphin Agricultural Society’s annual general meeting went off without a hitch.

Ag Society president Jamie Damsgaard explains Tuesday night’s meeting involved a bit of extra work getting everyone on the same page with the Microsoft Teams technology.

“It was really interesting. I think our members and our directors did a really good job.”

The President and the entire executive board have chosen to stay on in their positions for another year.

When it comes to the Dauphin Ag Society's usual events put on throughout the year, Damsgaard says the group is monitoring public health restrictions and will plan around that to the best of their ability.

“We’re optimistic and we’re hopeful we can still put on a fair for our community, but I guess time will tell.”

She says they’re currently looking at how to facilitate a Farm Outlook this year -- and if provincial restrictions by that time allow some kind of gathering, the Ag Society will plan around those guidelines.
