Growers Wanted to Represent Alberta Canola in Four Regions

The Alberta Canola director nomination cycle is now open for regions 3, 6, 9, and 12 until October 31, 2024.

It is essential for all twelve regions of Alberta Canola to have farmer representation during board discussions. Decisions on government policy and regulation, research funding, and other issues affecting the long-term success of canola farmers in Alberta should reflect the perspectives of growers from every region.

The terms for incoming directors will begin following the Annual General Meeting on January 22, 2025.

To learn more about the regions, the roles of directors, and the nomination process, please visit albertacanola.com/nominations or contact the Alberta Canola office at 780-454-0844.

Who can become a director?

Anyone who has paid a service charge on canola to Alberta Canola since August 1, 2022, is an eligible producer and can be nominated to serve as a regional director. Eligible producers can be individuals or representatives of a corporation, partnership, or organization. To be nominated, eligible producers must grow canola within the defined region, though they do not need to reside there.

Nominations for director positions must be submitted to the Alberta Canola office by October 31, 2024, at 4:00 p.m.
