Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CYL) name 2025 program semi-finalists

Established by the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) in 2010, the CYL Program welcomes young people ages 18–35 from across Canada involved in all areas of the beef supply chain.

The program aims to build the next generation of industry leaders by providing unique mentorship, training, and professional and personal development opportunities in the Canadian beef industry.

A judging panel selected the semi-finalists from written applications submitted by youth from across the country.

Semi-finalists will be invited to attend the annual CYL Selections Competition in September where they will participate in judged roundtable discussions on timely beef industry related topics to compete for a spot in the upcoming program year, according to CCA President Tyler Fulton.

“Congratulations to all the exceptional applicants this year who have demonstrated remarkable commitment to shaping the future of the Canadian beef industry. We are excited to meet our semi-finalists in September and listen to the innovative ideas they will bring to the table,” Fulton said.
