BC Chicken Marketing Board composition rules updated: new chair appointment and non-grower seat added
B.C. Reg. 188/61 – British Columbia Chicken Marketing Scheme, 1961, effective September 1, 2026 — under the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
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.
Who this affects: registered chicken growers in BC · BC Chicken Marketing Board members · poultry industry participants · agricultural marketers regulated under the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act
