Agricultural safety group unveils new vision

Mar 26, 2026 | 4:05 PM

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) has created new mission statements underscoring the organization’s ongoing commitment to promoting agricultural safety.  

CASA is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and safety of farmers, their families and agricultural workers

CASA’s new vision: A Canada where no one is harmed in agriculture. CASA’s new mission: CASA promotes a culture of agricultural safety that protects people through knowledge sharing, support, and meaningful connections.  

CASA Executive Director Sandra Miller said updating its vision is about more than new words on paper. 

“It reaffirms our commitment to supporting the driving forces behind Canada’s agricultural sector: farmers, farm families, and farm workers,” Miller said. “As our industry evolves, so must our approach to safety. These changes emphasize the future we’re working toward and reflect CASA’s focus on collaborative, practical solutions that aim to help everyone on Canadian farms return home safely at the end of the day.”

The agricultural workplace can be extremely hazardous with more than 60 Canadian lives lost as a result of agriculture-related injuries in an average year. 

Peter Sykanda, CASA’s Board Chair said promoting farm safety is essential to maintaining a thriving and sustainable agricultural sector.   

“Our updated mission and vision set a clear direction for the future: promoting a culture where safety is not an afterthought, but a shared value embedded and embraced across the industry,” Sykanda said. 

CASA encourages all Canadians to remember #FarmSafetyEveryday and reflect on the vital importance of farm safety for workers, families, and communities.  

It is funded in part by the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
