Alberta Canola Producers Commission Announces Region 4 Director Election Results

(Edmonton, AB) Alberta canola growers in Region 4 have elected John Mayko of Mundare to represent them on the Board of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission. He ran against Kris Klammer of Vegreville, Alberta. John has worked in various roles in crop production at the Canola Council of Canada over his 23 year off-farm career. While John was with the Canola Council, he worked closely with the various provincial grower organizations including Alberta Canola.

“I wish to extend sincere thanks to our past Director for the Region, Daryl Tuck” says Alberta Canola Chairman Greg Sears. “Daryl worked hard and exhibited a great deal of dedication to the success of our industry and its growers. I would also like to thank John and Kris for stepping forward and letting their names stand for election.”
