THE BC CHICKEN MARKETING BOARD

HAS LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE

This platform will serve as a central location for all information related to our organization, providing updates, resources, and valuable information to our growers and the public.

The website aims to improve communication, transparency, and accessibility, allowing everyone to easily connect with us and stay informed about the latest news and initiatives.

We invite you to explore the various sections of our website and learn more about the BC Chicken Marketing Board and the poultry industry. The development of this website aligns with our 2024-2027 strategic plan, which emphasizes the need for clear and effective communication of all regulatory responsibilities. 

We encourage all registered growers to visit the

"Grower Login" section.

All industry forms have now been moved to this protected area of the website and compiled for your convenience.

If you do not have your grower login password, please contact the Board office and we'd be happy to assist.



Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to improved communication through our simplified and improved website!

GROCERY CODE OF CONDUCT

Agriculture ministers from the federal, provincial, and territorial governments met in Whitehorse for their annual conference, discussing issues including the

WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS GUIDE

The government employs skilled personnel to detect, monitor and respond to an average of 1,600 wildfires per year in British Columbia. When wildfires burn away from houses or infrastructure, they can have ecological benefits. At other times, they can threaten homes, businesses, and vital infrastructure.

This guide will help you prepare your household, protect your property and learn what to do if a wildfire is close to your community.
