Alberta Canola’s call for board of director candidates prompted six people to step forward but four of them are in just one region.
The candidates in Region 4 (east of Edmonton) are Jeannette Andrashewski of Two Hills, Kyle Tarkowski of Myrnam, Mark Smook of Vegreville and Ralph Tessman of Okotoks (who farms in Region 4).
Ballots will go out this month and the four candidates will be given an opportunity to speak at the Grower Engagement Meeting in Fort Saskatchewan on Dec. 1.
