Kyle Nahirniak joins us to talk about the Round Hill Renaissance Agriculture Foundation (RHRAF). Kyle is a farmer who was born and raised in Round Hill and is an active community member and participant in the RHRAF. 

The Round Hill Renaissance Agriculture Foundation was created by the community of Round Hill in 2020. In September 2020, the Foundation was incorporated under the Societies Act of Alberta.The idea for the Foundation began back in February 2020, when the parents and community of Round Hill made a proposal to the Battle River School Division to develop an Agriculture based learning program within Round Hill School. With community gardens, food forest, binzebo and more, this is a rural community initiative that you will want to hear about!
