you goes out to all the breeders and service providers for their donations, all the buyers for their support, and to the committee for the hours of hard work and dedication to put this event on. You can always tell the success of an event by the length of the celebration and from what I was told, it was a lengthy celebration. The CCA AGM was held on the June 11th, at 10:00 a.m. in Russell. The attendance at the meeting was below average, but with the spring many parts of the country had experienced, this was understandable. The CCA reported the Finances in a positive situation, with the investments remaining strong in 2021 as well as covid cancelling most of the travel. The CCA continues to invest in breed improvement, moving this
breed forward and positioning its breeders for success remains number one priority. There were several By-Law changes, many of them just in the housekeeping nature, passed unanimously. The CCA would like to congratulate Kasey Phillips, Waskatenau, AB, for being re-elected as President, and welcome new board members Josh Taylor, Dunsford, ON, and Armond Roy, St-Bernard Lacolle, QC. The CCA would also like to thank Roger Maloney, Indian River, ON, and Mathieu Palerme, Gatineau, QC for their years of service on the board.
