Roger Chevraux, from Killam, Alta. has been elected as the new board chair of Alberta Canola following the group’s annual general meeting (AGM), a Jan. 31 news release says. Chevraux takes over from past chair Kevin Serfas.

Ian Chitwood, from Airdrie, Alta. was elected as vice-chair, while Charles Simoneau from Guy, Alta. joined the board as the representative for Alberta Canola’s region three. Outgoing directors are Serfas, Denis Guindo and Holly White, the release notes.
