Manitoulin Cattlemen’s’ Association/Soil and Crop Annual General Meeting
The AGM will be held at the Spring Bay Hall, 72 Highway 542, Spring Bay, Thursday, January 19, beginning at 11 am. For additional information please contact Marca Williamson at 705-859-2528. From Birgit Martin: Please note that the Manitoulin Island Community Abattoir AGM will also be on January 19 immediately following the BFO and OSCIA meetings. It will likely only take about 30 minutes so I would ask as many members as possible to attend so that any votes will be binding. Thanks and see you then. P.S. We are looking for two new directors for a three-year term each. Please consider becoming a director to help shape the future of our community abattoir!
