LEADERS WANTED FOR THE ALBERTA CANOLA
PRODUCERS COMMISSION
The Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC) is seeking four canola growers
to serve as Directors. Directors are needed for
regions 2, 5, 8 and 11
this year.
Alberta is divided into 12 regions, and each region elects a director to represent the growers of that
region. The Board of Directors meet as a whole four times each year. The Board is guided in its
decisions by the recommendations from four committees: Agronomic Research, Market
Development, Grower Relations and Extension, and Administration.
Who may become a director of ACPC?
Anyone who has paid the ACPC a service charge on canola sold since August 1, 2009 is an
eligible producer and can stand for election as a Director. An eligible producer can be an individual,
corporation, partnership or organization. Eligible producers must produce canola within the defined
region in order to be nominated, but do not have to reside within the region. For detailed
descriptions about the ACPC regions where elections are being held visit
www.canola.ab.ca
or
call the ACPC office at 1-800-551-6652.
Nominations for the position of Director must be filed in writing at the ACPC office,
#170, 14315-118 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, T5L 4S6, or by fax 780-451-6933 on or
before October 31, 2011.
For more information, contact Ward Toma, ACPC General Manager at 1-800-551-6652
