CYL Mentees at BC Town Hall Meeting and Canfax Marketing Forum

On November 13-14 Kerry Hyatt attended the first annual Canfax Marketing Forum in Calgary with her mentor Anne Dunford. She said in addition to all of the great information that was presented to attendees by very qualified speakers, the forum was a valuable opportunity to network with others in the beef industry.

On October 22, Cole Bailey and Erika Strande attended the CCA Town Hall Meeting in Kamloops, BC. Both shared their CYL experience with the 100 beef producers that gathered for the event by joining the representatives from the CCA, BCRC and Canfax that spoke at the event. These two made my job of ‘selling’ the CYL program a no brainer! It was very easy for the producers to see the merit in this program with two outstanding well-spoken mentees standing in front of them and sharing how CYL has opened up opportunities for learning, networking and personal development.

We have added a section titled ‘Future Mentors’ for those organizations or individuals that are interested in participating in the CYL Program in a mentor capacity. The future mentors category enables the CYL to broaden its base of mentors who see value in the program and are looking for a candidate with specific attributes to take on as a mentee, be it in this program year or one in the future. The Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) and CYL have announced that the CWA will be joining us as a new future mentor!

Several CYL participants will be attending CWA this week exhibiting cattle and connecting with producers and consumers at the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association booth. Those in attendance include: Jeff Yorga (Flintoft, SK), Brodie Haugan (Orion, AB), Ryan Hurlburt (Saskatoon, SK), Tyson Lowe (Nanton, AB) , Sheldon Kyle (Redvers, SK), and Allison Porter (Kinistino, SK).
