ALBERTA CATTLE FEEDERS’ ASSOCIATION
The Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association (ACFA) has set the pace in industry for 50 years and is the voice of cattle feeders: hard-working, forward-looking women and men who believe in a strong, profitable, and sustainable cattle feeding industry.
ALBERTA CANOLA PRODUCERS COMMISSION
The Alberta Canola Producers Commission was established in 1989 making it the province’s first crop commission funded by growers under Alberta’s Marketing of Agricultural Products Act. The mission of Alberta Canola is to support the long-term success of canola farmers in Alberta through research, extension, consumer engagement, and advocacy.
The inception of the Gulls Give Foundation, a non-profit foundation, came hand in hand with the Gulls baseball team in 2019 introduced by Graham and Jennifer Schetzsle. The Gulls Give Foundation has been created to give back in positive and meaningful ways, by engaging with organizations who are focused on delivering programs that align with our mission and vision statements.
