For over 40 years, Aggie Days has brought the farm to the city during the Calgary Stampede, and volunteers play a huge role in making it happen.
For Heather Mills of Bar HD Farms near De Winton, Alberta, giving back while helping connect the next generation to agriculture and teaching kids where their food comes from is what's important.
"We come out to help every year with Aggie Days because I've got young kids and they've really started to get into the whole 4-H, and I think it's really important to teach our youth about agriculture and also being able to give back to the community," says Mills.
