Overview
The Centre of Excellence for Skilled Trades and Manufacturing in partnership with McCain Foods is excited to bring you an experiential learning activity called “From Farm to Fry: A Quality Control Experience”.
Elementary learners will journey through the life of a potato – from its humble beginnings on the farm to becoming golden, crispy McCain French Fries on a fork! However, not just any potato can become French Fry worthy. Learners will discover the true standard for quality through hands-on activities, virtual tours, and a real-life factory experience.
Elementary learners from all over New Brunswick will join industry experts on Tuesday, January 21st at 10:45 am for this experiential learning activity.
