Alberta Pork Holding 2nd Annual Chops & Crops Reception

One of our key mandates at Alberta Pork is to advocate for producers with all levels  of government. Strong relationships with government  are critical to ensuring that  our industry's voice is heard and our needs are addressed.

On October 29th, Alberta Pork, along with other commodity groups, is hosting the  2nd Annual Chops & Crops Reception at the Matrix  Hotel in Edmonton. Last year's event was a great success and we're expecting even more MLA's and government staff this time. It's a great opportunity to interact with key decision makers and talk about the issues affecting our industry and how we can work together to resolve them.
