Bridging the Gap is a workshop designed to help farming families navigate the important journey of farm transition. This workshop is uniquely designed to engage multiple generations and equip families with the knowledge and resources they need to be successful.

Farm Management Canada presents the workshop in partnership with MNP, AFSC, Alberta Canola, FCC, Ritchie Bros., and RBC. This workshop offers practical guidance, expert insights, and the tools families need to navigate transition with confidence.

  • Practical Tools & Resources
    Access planning templates, communication strategies, and tips for working with your transition team.

  • Open Dialogue
    Share your story, ask questions, and learn from others in similar situations.

“This was the first time that all four of us have been encouraged to attend the same learning event together. Usually only one person is able to attend and attempts to bring home the information and tries to relay what they learned. This was a priceless experience.”
