Manitoba Beef Producers District Meetings Going Digital This Year

Due to COVID-19, Manitoba Beef Producers annual district meetings are going digital this year, getting underway October 19th.

 

General Manager Carson Callum talked about some of the issues that will be discussed.

 

"Obviously, we do our usual year in review and talk about many things that MBP has been focused on and lots of impacts due to COVID-19, especially since the onset in the springtime," he said. "I'm sure that will be an area of discussion. A lot of the usual ones, like public trust, which is an important piece for our sector and then the crown lands file, which a year ago now was when that really heated up and we continue to focus a lot on getting some changes to that."

 

Information on the meetings can be found on the MBP website.
