SaskCanola Election and Electronic Voting

Six nominations have been received to fill four seats at SaskCanola’s board table. The voting period opened November 1 and ends November 30 at noon CST.

The six nominees include Keith Fournier from Lone Rock/Maidstone, Gerry Hertz from Edenwold, Kyle Korneychuk from Pelly, Patricia Lung from Humboldt, Wayne Truman from Redvers, and Doyle Wiebe from Langham. Profiles for each candidate can be found at www.saskcanola.com. All election candidates will also be featured on SaskCanola’s monthly radio program in November to discuss their priorities for the canola industry.

Registered producers* will receive a web-based election letter that will instruct them how to select their Board choices from the nominated candidates in the online voting platform. There will be an option listed in the letter for registered producers who wish to vote by paper ballot.

SaskCanola is governed by farmers so make sure your voice is heard and vote!

*A registered producer is any producer who has sold canola in either of
the previous two crop years and has not requested a levy refund in the
past year.
