Canadian Western Agribition kicked off with the induction ceremony for the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame on Sunday in Regina.

The Class of 2015 includes wheat breeder Dr. Ron DePauw, former Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine, 4-H pioneer E. Ward Jones, winemaker Anthony von Mandl, and Egg Farmers of Canada co-founder Ovila Lebel.

Herb McLean with the Hall of Fame says Sunday's ceremony marked the first time the event was held outside of Toronto, and he is pleased to have it be part of Agribition.

"We're doubly pleased because it completes a circle of sorts for me, personally. I'm the past president of Agribition a few years back, so we're pleased to bring the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame to Regina," he said.

Agribition continues to Saturday.
