Manitoba Re-Elects KAP President

Bill Campbell has been re-elected to another term as President of Keystone Ag Producers (KAP).

The Minto area farmer was first appointed to the post in 2018, and ran unchallenged for the 2022/23 term.

"It is with great appreciation that I have accepted the role of President...and I look forward to working with our Vice Presidents...thank you everyone for that endorsement," said Campbell during day one of KAP's virtual annual general meeting.

Also re-elected were vice presidents Jill Verway and Jake Ayre.

Day two of the virtual AGM goes Wednesday.
