SASKATOON — The nomination deadline is quickly approaching for director positions with both the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (SaskBarley) and the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat).
The deadline to receive completed nomination forms for both organizations is Sept. 6 at noon. Should the organizations receive more nominations than there are director positions available, elections will take place between Oct. 19 and Nov. 29. SaskBarley has three director positions open while Sask Wheat has four.
To be eligible for candidacy, nominees must be registered producers, meaning they have had a Sask Wheat or SaskBarley check-off deducted since Aug. 1, 2021, and have not requested or received a check-off refund in the last fiscal year (Aug. 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023) for each respective commission. All nominations must include the nominee’s contact information and signatures from at least two registered wheat producers for a Sask Wheat nomination or two registered barley producers for a SaskBarley nomination.
Nomination forms and election information can be found on the websites of each commission:
