Our History
In 1966, hog producers in Canada formed the Canadian Swine Council for the purpose of negotiating and developing a new pork grading system. At that time, it became clear that a national industry group for the hog sector was necessary. Over the years the organization, later renamed the Canadian Pork Council, has continued to grow as new policy and programming responsibilities have been added to its mandate.
Today, the Council is the national voice of the hog sector, with a membership that includes Canada’s nine provincial industry associations which, in turn, represent over 7,000 hog producers. The Council serves them through its national and international policy advocacy efforts, as well as through the development and implementation of initiatives dealing with food safety, animal care, traceability, animal health, environmental management, international trade and nutrition. Our leadership has helped to enable the Canadian pork industry to position itself among the best in the world.
