The event included the five-year reunion celebration of the CYL national launch, where over 60 alumni mentors and mentees gathered for the graduation of the current group and acknowledgement of the success of the program.<br \/>\n\u201cBefore the creation of the CBIC, CYL selections were held in the spring as a standalone event and with so many people attending the conference in August, it just made sense to combine the two\u201d said Jill Harvie, CCA Programs Manager. \u201cIn the end, it was both a huge attribute to the conference and a considerable benefit to the semi-finalists and graduates. Between the speakers, sessions, and ample networking opportunities, these young cattlemen and women gained a lot from the experience, whether they were chosen as finalists or not. Many positive comments were also made by other CBIC delegates about the amount of young faces in the crowd and the strong representation by the future of Canadian beef.\u201d<br \/>\nCongratulations to the 2016 recipients, who will soon be paired with an industry mentor to guide them over the next eight months. The CYL Program provides industry-specific training and mentorship opportunities to young producers. CYL participants have the opportunity to explore a potential career choice or involvement with a provincial\/national producer organization, while gaining the expertise and business acumen necessary to sustain the cattle industry into the future.<br \/>\nFunding for the CYL Program is made available through its foundation partners, UFA Co-operative Ltd., the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA), Cargill, and MNP. The program also receives support from Gold Sponsors Farm Credit Canada and New Holland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For further information, contact:<\/strong><br \/>\nJill Harvie<br \/>\nPrograms Manager<br \/>\nCanadian Cattlemen\u2019s Association<br \/>\n403-275-8558 x 316 | harviej@cattle.ca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 23, 2016<\/p>\n<p>CYL News Release 8-23-16 CYL 2016 Mentorship Recipients (pdf)\n<\/p>\n<p>Calgary, AB \u2013 The Cattlemen\u2019s Young Leaders (CYL) program is pleased to announce its 2016 national mentorship recipients.
