Mabel Hamilton is one of four new inductees into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame.
A teacher by training, Hamilton provided “more than 40 years of standout leadership roles with key organizations,” the hall of fame said in a release.
That includes service with the Alberta Cattle Commission (now Alberta Beef Producers), developing a classroom agricultural program for Grade 4 students, leading the Canadian Angus Association, working with the Beef Information Centre and helping to create the national livestock traceability system “that was crucial when BSE was discovered in 2003.”
