The momentum Dwyer referenced was explained by outgoing president and committee member Blair Cressman.

“The 43^rd annual Ontario Pork Congress was a true success in all regards,” he said. “We were blessed with great weather and attendance was strong. The trade show expanded again to accommodate a growing number of exhibitors, featuring innovation from around the globe.”

In the 2016 Hog Jog, OPC partnered with the Stratford-Perth Shelterlink. OPC presented Shelterlink with a cheque for $48,000.

“It truly showcases our industry’s spirit of giving,” Cressman said.

The next Ontario Pork Congress is scheduled for June 21-22, 2017.
