Alberta Pork’s next annual general meeting (AGM) takes place on Thursday, November 23, 2023. This one-day event will take place at the Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel, located at 2620 - 32 Ave. NE in Calgary, Alberta.

We have arranged the meeting agenda to help inform and inspire producers and our industry partners!

The AGM will include the business meeting in the morning, followed by a lineup of exciting presentations in the afternoon from the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), trusted market analyst Brett Stuart and renowned food policy expert Sylvain Charlebois (with whom you may be familiar from his appearances in national news media, as he frequently comments on issues affecting agri-food).
