A vacancy on the CGS Board for a position from Ontario arose this spring.
Ontario members were informed of the vacancy and afforded the opportunity to make nominations to fill the position.
One person, Susan Mangan of Hamilton, Ontario was nominated. The required number of supporting nominations for Ms. Mangan were received by the deadline of May 5th.
Therefore, Ms. Mangan was declared as one of two directors from Ontario.
Congratulations!

The Canadian Goat Society is in search of a Secretary-Manager. If you or someone you know would be interested in applying please find all the information below or you can download the document here.
It is with great regret that the CGS Board has received notice of resignation from Russell Gammon, current Secretary-Manager of CGS. He will continue to serve CGS until a replacement is found and will ensure a smooth transition to new management as the association wishes.
Russell took the position of Secretary-Manager at a time when CGS was in great need of someone who had the ability and dedication in secretarial/management services and agriculture.
Russell is investigating new opportunities after serving the CGS since September 11, 2019.
Gammon wishes CGS all the very best in growth and business success.
CFIA is hosting an hour-long webinar to present the proposed changes to the Traceability regulations that will include goats.
