Alberta Pork 2012 Annual General Meeting

November in Nisku. It’s not quite springtime in Paris, but it’s close.

And on November 22, it’s THE place to be for producers, government representatives, academics, veterinarians, feed companies, and other industry partners.

The Alberta Pork 2012 Annual General Meeting will be held at the Executive Royal Inn in Leduc/Nisku. There’ll be registration and coffee at 9:30 am, followed by the meeting at 10.

Come and enjoy informative presentations on pricing, risk management, marketing, and the future of the industry. Get re-acquainted with friends and associates and enjoy a hearty lunch while you hear the latest on Alberta Pork activities and priorities. Then join us afterwards for an informal reception to top off the day.
