Conference and Annual General Meeting
The Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada holds an annual Conference and AGM once a year. It provides an opportunity for our community to come together and discuss important industry events and topics.
About Our Conference and AGM
FVGC’s Conference and Annual General Meeting (AGM) takes place over three days in early March every year. As an opportunity for Canada’s produce sector to come together from coast to coast, it is a highlight in the horticultural community’s calendar.
Members bring forth and vote on resolutions, elect the Board of Directors and committee chairs and discuss key issues that will affect FVGC’s advocacy over the upcoming year.
