Indigenous Peoples and B.C. lead the way forward together

Nov 29, 2022

In British Columbia, there is a shared commitment to ensure that the province is a place where the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples are recognized, and First Nations, Métis and Inuit people thrive.

Reconciliation is a provincial imperative, embedded in law, and there is real progress and change. In 2019, government collaborated with Indigenous Peoples to develop and pass the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act – the first legislation of its kind in Canada. This is the Province’s framework for implementing the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Through this work, B.C. is building a province where Indigenous excellence, leadership, governance and self-determination is recognized and respected.

Video: Same Grit, New Name: A Conversation with Ryan Calistro of Bower Ag

Swine Leaders Live, we sit down with Ryan Calistro, President of Bower Ag, to discuss a major brand transition in the ag construction and solutions space—and what it means for swine producers. Bower Ag represents a new, unified identity, bringing together Ag Property Solutions, Dairy Specialists, and The Dairy Solutions Group under one name. But as Ryan explains, this isn’t about change for the sake of change—it’s about strengthening what already works and delivering more value to producers.

We dive into:

• What Bower Ag is and why the transition was made

• What stays the same for longtime customers

• How combining multiple businesses creates new opportunities for producers

• What today’s producers are asking for—and how Bower Ag is responding

• Key insights heading into World Pork Expo

If you’ve worked with APS before—or are evaluating partners for your next project—this conversation provides a clear look at where Bower Ag is headed and how they’re positioning themselves for the future.
