A training farm for Canadian Chalutzim is being established in Chambly Basin, Quebec, where prospective Canadian Chalutzim will receive a rudimentary knowledge of agriculture before their departure for Palestine.
The farm is situated not far from Montreal and consists of some 400 acres cultivated as well as wooded soil. The first groups of Chalutzim from Montreal and Toronto will shortly go on the land.
The training farm will be conducted under the supervision of the recently formed Pro-Hechalutz Committee which is now carrying on a one dollar campaign to raise the necessary means for the upkeep of the farm. Agricultural experts have promised to give the Chalutzim expert advice on all matters pertaining to their life on the farm.
