Who is eligible to apply?

Our Ambassador Program is open to individuals between the ages of 18 and 23.

​

What does an ambassador do?

An Ambassador promotes and publicly represents their organization at community events (such as agricultural fairs), serving as the face of Country Heritage Park throughout their term.

​

What qualities make a great ambassador?

An ideal Ambassador is comfortable in the public eye, well-groomed, polite, friendly, and most importantly: genuinely passionate about the organization they represent..

​

What type of events does an Ambassador attend?

Ambassadors may attend various fairs in their district, local parades, annual meetings, workshops, and other public opportunities to promote their fair. Two highlights of the program are the OAAS Annual Convention and the CNE Ambassador Competition.

​

Is this a pageant?

Not at all. This is a leadership program designed to help young people build confidence and communication skills. The experience gained during an Ambassador's year of service is invaluable, and the title of "Fair Ambassador" is a great addition to any resumé.

​

What does an Ambassador wear?

When representing your fair, dress neatly in business-casual attire, ensure you are well-groomed, and always wear your fair sash. Remember: as the public face of the Country Heritage Park, you are expected to behave professionally at all times. Alcohol consumption is not permitted while on Ambassador duty, and appropriate conduct is expected even when you're off duty at an event.

​

What other perks are there to being an Ambassador?

Ambassadors often find themselves in the spotlight. When wearing the sash, you may be asked for photos, invited to ride on parade floats, and given the chance to network with other young people from across the province. Additionally, the selected Ambassador will receive a scholarship award at the end of their term.

​

What is the time commitment? 

Typically, an Ambassador is on duty during the full fair weekend, attends half-day visits to other fairs in the district, participates in important fair meetings, represents the fair at public events, attends the OAAS Convention in February, and participates in the CNE the year following their term. These are general guidelines and will be confirmed upon appointment. School always comes first!
