During the coming year, APG will embark on changes to its Marketing Council regulations and the AGM provides a chance for APG to discuss our proposal with the membership.

The key changes include moving the Municipal District of Acadia into Zone 2, increasing the Director terms to a maximum of two four-year terms, and increasing the Director-at-Large term from one year to two years.

Requesting changes to regulations is a lengthy process and, when the changes are approved, APG will define the year in which they will be operational. We anticipate that none of these changes will be in place for the 2016-17 crop year but will hopefully be in place for the 2017-18 year.
