About Us

CPC Structure

The work of CPC can be credited by the hard work of our Board of Directors and team members. Together, they help advance, promote, and protect Canadian pork production’s excellence with the help of member organizations.

The CPC Board

The Canadian Pork Council’s Board of Directors is made up of representatives from all nine provincial producer organizations. Each year, at our Annual General Meeting, there are 11 members appointed to the Board.  The number of Directors selected from each member association is based on the province’s share of national pork production.

Providing industry expertise on current issues and determining the Canadian Pork Council’s future path, our Board plays a crucial role in the advancement of CPC’s efforts and the Canadian pork sector.
