Leaders wanted to represent Alberta canola growers
The Alberta Canola Producers Commission is seeking canola growers to serve as directors on the board of directors for a three-year term. This year, five directors are needed in regions
1, 4, 7, 10 and 12.
Alberta Canola divides Alberta into 12 regions, with each region electing a producer director to represent the canola growers within that region. The Board of Directors meets quarterly and is guided in decision making by five committees comprised of board members. The committees are:
- Agronomic Research
- Governance and Finance
- Grower Relations and Extension
- Government and Industry Affairs
- Market Development and Promotion
Who can become a Director?
Anyone who has paid a service charge on canola to Alberta Canola since August 1, 2014 is an eligible producer and can stand as a director. Eligible producers can be individuals or represent a corporation, partnership or organization. In order to be nominated, eligible producers must grow canola within the defined region, but do not have to reside within it.
For detailed descriptions of the regions, more information, or to make a nomination please visit albertacanola.com/regions or call the office at 780-454-0844.

canolaPALOOZA 2016
The second annual canolaPALOOZA was June 28 at the Lacombe Research and Development Centre. We had over 500 people come through plots ranging from the history of canola to hail simulation to weed control, spray drift and everything in between!
But this was no ordinary field tour — each station featured an interactive component to make sure your learning was memorable. From axe throwing to dunk tanks to bubble blowing and cow milking, we had it ALL!
