The new year has ushered in a new leader for Canada’s Outdoor Shows, the parent company of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show and Canada’s Outdoor Equine Expo.

Doug Wagner became president effective January 1, assuming this position from Lorie Jocius, who now is vice president.

“Doug and my late husband, Ginty, created Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show almost two decades ago,” says Lorie Jocius. “With our merger with Glacier Media Inc. this past fall, it is a logical time to transfer the reins to Doug’s most capable hands.”

“We realized during our visit to Agritechnica in Germany this fall that Canada’s Outdoor Shows now has a strong international reputation for showcasing Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT),” says Wagner. “I hope to continue our tradition of demonstrating the newest and brightest ideas impacting the Canadian agricultural and equine industries through educational and interactive venues like Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show and Canada’s Outdoor Equine Expo.”
