Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Fall Meetings Move Online
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and the impacts on ability to plan the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association’s (SCA’s) fall meetings are moving to a virtual format for 2020.
Due to start on October 19th, the planning realities along with continued hotspots made the 11 meetings with people traveling across the province inadvisable.
SCA chair Arnold Balicki said “This is disappointing. These are important meetings for producers to interact with each other and with SCA board and staff. But it’s just the safe thing to do.”
The election for a board representative in district 7 will go ahead in Kerrobert on October 20th. Polls will open at 4:30 p.m. with candidate speeches at 5:00 and again at 7:00 with polls closing at 8:00 p.m. William Coventry and Joleen Shea are the candidates running to replace long time board member Paula Larson.
The SCA information session will be moved online to October 28th at 1:00 p.m. This will be an open session for all Saskatchewan cattle producers to hear from SCA and to bring forward questions for the board and staff. Details on that session will be circulated and posted on the SCA website, saskbeef.com.
The Annual General Meeting of the Association will take place virtually as well on February 1 at 1:00 p.m.
The SCA is the provincial check-off agency for Saskatchewan beef producers. It exists to promote the success of all production sectors of the Saskatchewan beef cattle industry through effective representation from all regions of the province.
