Selection Process for New FCC Directors
In February 2016, the Prime Minister announced a new process for Governor in Council appointments. This new process is intended to be open, transparent, merit-based, and focused on identifying high-quality candidates who demonstrate Canada’s diversity. This process will be used to select new directors to serve on Farm Credit Canada’s (FCC) Board of Directors.
The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau recognizes the importance of having strong leaders on FCC’s Board of Directors, who will support her in fulfilling her mandate to help make Canada’s agricultural sector safer, stronger, and more innovative.
To ensure that FCC continues to effectively deliver on its mandate, the government are looking for candidates with the ability to provide the vision needed to attain that mandate and realize the organization’s strategic direction.
Interested individuals are invited to apply for these positions.

Your Farmers, Your Nova Scotia
The Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture (NSFA) through Meet Your Farmer, is excited to announce a new initiative called “Your Farmers, Your Nova Scotia” that works to build a stronger connection between farmers and the people living in their communities.
“Your Farmers, Your Nova Scotia, was created in an effort to connect Nova Scotians not only with the food on their plates, but how it got there and who produced it. We have seen the rise in the “buy local” movement and we hope that the momentum continues in the years ahead,” said Victor Oulton, President of NSFA. “This campaign will help connect your families to our farm families, one bite at a time.”
The campaign coincides with a refresh of NSFA’s Meet Your Farmer website, and will profile stories of farm families located from one end of the province to the other, share favourite Nova Scotia inspired recipes, and provide details on how to purchase products in order to support the local economy and contribute to efforts of sustaining our food supply.
Visit www.nsfa-fane/yourfarmers-yournovascotia/ for the full press release.
