The Canadian Pork Council’s (CPC) Board of Directors named a new board chair, René Roy of Quebec, and vice-chair, Scott Peters of Manitoba, at a recent board meeting in Banff, Alberta prior to the Banff Pork Forum.
Rick Bergmann, the organization’s longest-serving chair in its history, retired from the board after eight years as chair and a total of 15 years of service to the national organization, the release says.
Roy expresses his gratitude to Bergmann for representing the 7,000 Canadian pork producers over the past eight years, helping the industry navigate through a global pandemic, World Trade Organization (WTO) challenges, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) trade negotiations and many other issues.
