Canadian Cattle Young Leaders Program welcomes McDonald's Canada as a Platinum Partner

McDonald’s Canada has become the very first Platinum Partner of the Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CYL) Program. 

McDonald’s has been a Foundation Partner since 2017 and their support of the program exceeds their financial contributions. 

Their support has ranged from participating as mentors to CYL  participants, collaborating on workshops and tours, and helping with the judging process for selecting program participants.

The Canadian Cattle Association looks forward to their continued collaboration with McDonald's Canada in their efforts to support the future of the Canadian beef industry.

 CCA President Nathan Phinney says the future success of Canada’s beef industry is built on the investment we make in our next generation of leaders.

"We are grateful to McDonald’s Canada for growing their investment in our young leaders and helping us to take our program to new heights."
