Ltd. -- will join the BC Cherry Association board following an election for the director-at-large positions last Friday at the 2026 AGM and conference. There are now 7,000 acres of cherries in BC.

Congratulations to UBC's Dr. Marina von Keyserlingk on her appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada, one of Canada’s highest civilian honours. Her decades of farm animal welfare research — spanning 350+ peer-reviewed papers and real policy change — have helped agriculture balance productivity with ethics.
