The University of British Columbia Dairy Education and Research Centre Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival float, 2018. The students have created a Pirates of the Cowribbean themed float, including a ship and mast with a skull and crossbones.

Between 1995 and 1998, the University of British Columbia Dairy Education and Research Centre relocated its operations from the Vancouver Point Grey campus to the Agassiz Agriculture and Agri-Food Research Centre. Since 2000, additional research and storage buildings have been constructed on site to support the Dairy Education and Research Centre’s administration and housing needs. Students and researchers travel from all over the world to work at the centre.
