The Alberta pork industry gathered in Red Deer for the 2026 Alberta Pork Congress, bringing together producers, researchers, suppliers, industry partners, and stakeholders to share knowledge, strengthen connections, and explore the latest innovations impacting pork production across the province.
One of the highlights of this year’s event was the presentation of the 2026 Pork Industry Ambassador Award to Charlotte Shipp, Industry Programs Manager with Alberta Pork.
