Canadian Charolais Youth Association News
Another great CCYA Conference and show is in the books. Ontario juniors welcomed youth from across the country for a week of fun and activities! This year’s conference took place in Shelburne, Ontario.
From the first day of registration until the last with our confirmation show and the banquet, I saw smiles on everyone’s faces and all had fun! Stay tuned for pictures and competition results in the next Charolais Banner.
I would like to commend Ontario’s youth and planning committee for organizing another fantastic conference! Hard work and long hours were put in to this great event and this was very much appreciated.
Our National Board was well represented in Ontario at this year’s conference, and much of our board is remaining the same for another year. I would like to welcome new directors to our board, including Megan McLeod, from Alberta, and Shae‐Lynn Evans, from Saskatchewan. We have one retiring member, Michael Hunter, and we thank him for his time with us.
Planning for next year’s conference and show is under way for the Manitoba committee. The national board and many of the youth members have already marked it on our calendars for next summer!
It was so great to see youth members from past conferences in Shelburne, as well as new faces to our program! I hope the rest of your summer is relaxing and enjoyable and I look forward to seeing you at the fall shows.
