A changing of the guard took place at the Festival Inn in Stratford, Ontario as Joe Dwyer was elected the new president of the Ontario Pork Congress (OPC) executive committee.

“As your new president we look to carry (the momentum) through to next year,” he said.

Other committee members include Chris Fullam, Daryl Vermey, Linda Weitzel, Megan Kirkpatrick, Andrea DeGroot, Kirk McLean and Chris Crump.

The momentum Dwyer referenced was explained by outgoing president and committee member Blair Cressman.

“The 43rd annual Ontario Pork Congress was a true success in all regards,” he said. “We were blessed with great weather and attendance was strong. The trade show expanded again to accommodate a growing number of exhibitors, featuring innovation from around the globe.”

In the 2016 Hog Jog, OPC partnered with the Stratford-Perth Shelterlink. OPC presented Shelterlink with a cheque for $48,000.

“It truly showcases our industry’s spirit of giving,” Cressman said.

The next Ontario Pork Congress is scheduled for June 21-22, 2017.
