Greenview Regional AgriPlex News
Every story starts somewhere - July 2024

Valleyview and District Agricultural Society Gets Approval for Funding Agreement for New Facility
The Valleyview & District Agricultural Society is a non-profit organization that has been active for 56 years and is an integral part of the community, providing a facility for recreational and educational events. The Society’s current facility is experiencing significant issues and has been deemed at the end of its projected lifespan by the current Ag Society Board. To assist with this large-scale endeavor, Council directed Administration to enter into an agreement with the Valleyview and District Agricultural Society in the amount of $4,000,000.00 for the construction of a new Agricultural Society Facility, with funds to come from the 2024 unrestricted reserves.
November 2024 - Intermediary Partnership with the VDAS & MD of Greenview
The Valleyview & District Agricultural Society (Ag. Society) is currently constructing a new Agri-Plex in Valleyview. Since it is a non-profit organization without a charitable status, the Ag. Society Board is looking to set up a fund for the capital project through the Northwestern Alberta Foundation (NAF) to allow donors to receive charitable receipts. Greenview Council supports the Ag. Society’s fundraising campaign by entering into an Intermediary Partnership that will allow residents and businesses to receive charitable receipts for supporting the community project.
