GGC Summer Meeting is in full swing! With our board meeting now wrapped, Directors connected over lunch sponsored by @CropLifeCanada, who provided a valuable update on PMRA and CFIA. Thank you @PierrePetelle and @CropLifeCanada team for the insight!

I really liked the trip through wheat breeding time from the 1860s to what we have today. The data from that will be very useful. Well done tour and many thanks for the top notch event and tours at Preston Avenue Kernen and Aberdeen @CurtisPozniak @CDC_USask

Our Summer Meeting continued with a visit to Semican’s oat flaking facility and research farm, a strong example of innovation and value-added processing in rural Quebec.
