BC Chicken Marketing Board composition rules updated: new chair appointment and non-grower seat added

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The British Columbia Chicken Marketing Scheme, 1961 has been amended to restate the composition of the BC Chicken Marketing Board. Going forward, the board will consist of a chair appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, three members who are registered growers elected by their peers, and one member who is not a grower appointed by the board itself. The key practical changes are the explicit inclusion of a chair appointed by government and a non-grower seat appointed by the board — replacing whatever the prior composition language specified. Registered chicken growers in BC should be aware of these revised election and appointment structures when participating in or dealing with the board.
