Ontario Pork Chair and Vice Chair re-elected

Apr 11, 2018

GUELPH, ONTARIO – The Ontario Pork Board of Directors is pleased to announce the re-election of Eric Schwindt (Waterloo) as Chair and John de Bruyn (Oxford) as Vice Chair at a board meeting on April 10, 2018.

Schwindt and de Bruyn were first elected to their respective roles in 2017, and in the past year have worked with board members and producers to make significant changes to the Canadian Pork Excellence platform and lay the foundation for a proposed new research facility.

“I look forward to continuing to work with John and our fellow board members to advance Ontario Pork’s position on issues that directly affect our members,” says Schwindt. “From policy and regulation to consumer education and international trade, we need to build on the momentum we’ve established to support a modern, sustainable and vibrant pork industry here in Ontario.”

Earlier this year, elections were held in Zones 3 and 4, with incumbent board members Chris Cossitt (Grey-Bruce), Arno Schober (Simcoe-York) and Oliver Haan (Northumberland-Quinte) all acclaimed. Other board members include Eric Hartemink (Elgin), Mike Mitchell (Middlesex), Doug Ahrens (Perth) and Teresa Van Raay (Huron).
