Alberta canola farmers step up to fill positions on its board of directors

Nov 20, 2025 | 2:59 PM

When nominations closed for the Alberta Canola Producers Commission director elections, just enough people let their names stand.

All of the candidates were elected by acclamation in regions 1, 4, 7, and 10. As a result, no election is necessary.

The four canola grower director-elects are Chris Kamphuis from Worsley, Jeannette Andrashewski from Two Hills, Jason Lenz from Bentley, and Cheryl Westman from Vermilion.

Kamphuis will represent Region 1, Andrashewski for Region 4, Lenz with Region 7, and Westman will represent Region 10.

Immediately following the Annual General Meeting on Jan. 27, 2026, Andrashewski and Westman will begin their second terms as directors, and Kamphuis and Lenz will begin their first terms as directors.
