Keeping You Connected Through the Canada Post Strike

While we await resolution to the Canada Post strike, we’ve prepared alternative solutions to keep the Canadian seed sector informed and supported.

While we at the Alberta Seed Guide, like many Canadians, are surprised by the continued Canada Post strike, we are — as always — committed to supporting our partners and moving forward with our business. We hope that the national strike will be resolved before the end of the year. If the mail disruption continues into 2025, however, we have proactively planned the following:

  • Expanded Distribution Channels: We’ve secured strong distribution opportunities at various industry events nationwide.
  • Enhanced Digital Presence: We’ve bolstered our already strong digital offerings, including email communications, website resources, and social media platforms, to keep you informed and connected.
  • Key Pick-Up Locations: We’ve identified convenient pick-up locations in partnership with organizations across the country. Stay tuned for details if/when needed.

We hope Canada Post and its workers reach a mutually beneficial deal as soon as possible. Until then, know that we at Alberta Seed Guide, have strong alternatives in place. Strike or no strike, we’ll continue connecting, informing and serving the Alberta seed industry.

Funded by Sask Wheat, the Wheat Pre-Breeding Chair position was established to enhance cereal research breeding and training activities in the USask Crop Development Centre (CDC) by accelerating variety development through applied genomics and pre-breeding strategies.

“As the research chair, Dr. Valentyna Klymiuk will design and deploy leading-edge strategies and technologies to assess genetic diversity for delivery into new crop varieties that will benefit Saskatchewan producers and the agricultural industry,” said Dr. Angela Bedard-Haughn (PhD), dean of the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at USask. “We are grateful to Sask Wheat for investing in USask research as we work to develop the innovative products that strengthen global food security.”

With a primary focus on wheat, Klymiuk’s research will connect discovery research, gene bank exploration, genomics, and breeding to translate gene discovery into improved varieties for Saskatchewan’s growing conditions.
