Due to COVID-19 restrictions and the impacts on the ability to plan the Saskatchewan Cattlemen鈥檚 Association鈥檚 (SCA鈥檚) fall meetings, they have moved to a virtual format for 2020. Planning realities along with continued hotspots made the 11 meetings scheduled for Oct. 19 with people travelling across the province inadvisable.
鈥淭his is disappointing,鈥� said SCA chair Arnold Balicki. 鈥淭hese are important meetings for producers to interact with each other and with SCA board and staff. But it鈥檚 just the safe thing to do.鈥�
The election for a board representative in district 7 will go ahead in Kerrobert on October 20. Polls will open at 4:30 p.m. with candidate speeches at 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. with polls closing at 8 p.m.
William Coventry and Joleen Shea are the candidates running to replace long time board member Paula Larson.
The SCA information session will be moved online to October 28 at 1 p.m. This will be an open session for all Saskatchewan cattle producers to hear from SCA and to bring forward questions for the board and staff.
Details on that session will be circulated and posted on the SCA . The association鈥檚 2021 Annual General Meeting will also take place virtually on February 1 at 1 p.m.
The SCA is the provincial check-off agency for Saskatchewan beef producers,聽existing to promote the success of all production sectors of the Saskatchewan beef cattle industry through effective representation from all provincial regions.
