Adam Dyck, industry representative from Warburtons, has been elected Chair of the Cereals Canada Board of Directors. As Chair, Dyck will help lead the organization’s work to strengthen Canada’s position as a trusted supplier of high-quality wheat, durum, barley, and oats.
Rounding out the executive committee is Josh Boersen, producer representative from Grain Farmers of Ontario, as Vice-Chair; Rob Stone, producer representative from Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, as Secretary; and Jean-Marc Ruest, industry representative from Richardson International, as Treasurer.
The Board also welcomed four newly elected directors, whose insight and leadership will guide the organization’s efforts to support market development, customer engagement, and innovation across the cereals sector.
“The Board of Directors plays a critical role in guiding our work on behalf of Canada’s cereals value chain,” said Dean Dias, chief executive officer of Cereals Canada. “We are pleased to welcome Adam as Chair and to welcome our new directors. Their collective experience and commitment will help ensure Cereals Canada continues delivering value for producers, exporters, and customers around the world.”
Adam Dyck replaces Brett Halstead, producer representative from the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission. Halstead, who operates a mixed farm near Nokomis, Sask., has served as Chair since 2024. In 2025, Halstead led the board in the implementation of a new strategic plan for Cereals Canada.
In addition to Halstead, directors completing their terms on the Board are producer representatives Gregg Fotheringham (Manitoba Crop Alliance), Boris Michaleski (Manitoba Crop Alliance), and Greg Sears (Alberta Grains), as well as industry representative Jared Veness (BASF Canada).
