Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) have selected Colin Hornby to lead their organization.

KAP President Jill Verwey said they were able to find the right individual from within.

Hornby has been with the organization since June 2022 in the role of manager, communications and stakeholder relations. Prior to this, he worked in government at both the provincial and federal levels, serving elected officials and providing strategic advice to senior staff and cabinet ministers. He also had a previous career working in human resource management.

Hornby is a graduate of the University of Manitoba, where he achieved a Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as RRC Polytech where he received a certificate in human resource management.
