Manitoba canola farmers, cast your vote

The voice of farmers is an important influence in developing decisions and policies that will support progressive, profitable and forward-thinking canola production. As a farmer funded and directed association, Manitoba Canola Growers has a board of directors who are elected and empowered to make decisions that will benefit farmers and positively affect the future of canola in this province.

Every two years, the association holds an election where members elect four directors, each serving a four-year term.

This year there are five candidates vying for four director positions.

  • Ballots were mailed out to all members mid-December.
  • Instructions can be found on your ballot to vote digitally or by mail.
  • Deadline to vote is January 15, 2022

Successful candidates will be your board representation and have the unique opportunity of representing canola farmers in Manitoba.

Any questions regarding voting can be directed to the Returning Officer for the 2021 elections, Rej Vermette with Avenue 4 Communications. Email rej@avenue4.com

Hybrid Annual General Meeting moves to virtual

As COVID-19 continues to impact our communities, Manitoba Canola Growers remains committed to doing our part to ensure the safety of our members, employees and partners.

With the recent extensions of public health orders, the 2022 CropConnect Conference has been cancelled and the decision has been made to shift our Annual General Meeting to a virtual meeting.

The virtual meeting will be hosted via Zoom for our membership and streamed via YouTube for non-voting guests. This forum allows members to vote, ask questions (typed or spoken), and chat via text box with other virtual attendees.
