CAAP Recognition Requirements

This guide will provide all CAAP funding recipients who had projects approved by the Agriculture Council of Saskatchewan Inc. (ACS) with communication guidelines and requirements. Funding for the CAAP program is provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).

Funding recipients must read through these requirements thoroughly before undertaking any publicity or communications on the funded project. The guidelines in this document will allow recipients to properly acknowledge and recognize both ACS and AAFC in communications activities related to their project, such as newsletter articles, news releases, fact sheets, brochures, advertisements, and posters.

Please notify an ACS Project Officer or the ACS Communications Manager prior to undertaking any project-related announcements, events or recognition activities. Please give ACS as much notice as possible (ideally four weeks or longer). ACS will contact AAFC Communications to give them the details of your communications activity. AAFC will provide feedback within five (5) working days, although some communications activities, such as news releases, may require longer response times.

NEWS RELEASES and EVENTS

News releases and project announcements are a common way to publicize and communicate about a project. CAAP funding recipients are encouraged to involve AAFC and ACS in announcements and news releases, as the presence of the Minister of Agriculture or a Member of Parliament at an event increases media attention and the efficacy of your announcement. Similarly, news releases sent from AAFC or including a quote from the Minister of Agriculture tend to receive more media attention than those sent from non-government sources or that do not include a Ministerial quote.

When eligible recipients want to announce a CAAP project, they must inform ACS, who will inform AAFC of this intention with a minimum of four (4) weeks advance notice. AAFC Communications will be responsible for notifying the office of the Minister of Agriculture and offering the opportunity to announce the project at an event or to insert a quote into the news release.
