This is the 26th issue of our electronic news update.
In Memorium
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Victor Redekop shortly before Christmas.
Vic was a long time chicken and turkey grower who during the years served many industry roles including Chair of the BC Chicken Growers Association, and as director on both the BC Chicken and Turkey marketing Boards.
Vic was a strong advocate for the BC poultry industry and will be missed by many.
Our best wishes go to Judy and her family at this difficult time in their lives.
