Christine McKee of Stirling, and Alan Hampton of Rowley have been appointed as Alberta Canola directors. McKee replaces Kevin Serfas in Region 9 while Hampton replaces Holly White in Region 12.
No candidates in either region put their name forward during elections last fall and neither did anyone at the organization’s annual general meeting.
Appointing directors is relatively rare for the province’s farm groups, although many directors are acclaimed or elected at an AGM because there were no candidates during regular elections at regional meetings.
