    Canadian Meat Council March 2013 Bulletin CBC Power in Politics Inside this issue: Executive Director Jim Laws appeared on CBC TV’s Power and Politics on Thursday Membership 2 January 10, 2013.

  • The Academy Awards of the Ontario Meat Industry. MPO Red Carpet Awards Gala 2019!
    The Academy Awards of the Ontario meat industry. MPO Red Carpet Awards Gala 2019! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GUELPH, ON - October 30, 2019 - Family was at the heart of the 2019 Red Carpet Awards Gala. We celebrated family businesses that produce award-winning, artisan meats for Ontarians and we honoured the family of people that make up our industry association and their commitment to our organization. The night concluded with the crowning of Ontario’s Finest Butcher, in the sixth year of this annual competition. “This evening’s award celebration plays an important role in bringing our industry together where we pay tribute to our members, recognizing their innovation and excellence,” says Franco Naccarato, executive director, Meat & Poultry Ontario (MPO), in his opening remarks. “Tonight is a time to celebrate our accomplishments and to acknowledge our champions.” We honoured Karlovo, Farm Credit Canada, Sheik Halal Farms, Webers Food Group Limited, Longo Brothers Fruit Markets, Eddystone Meat Products, Wagener’s Meat Products and Agram Meats as they received their 10-year membership plaque, followed by Malabar Super Spice and Windcrest Meat Products who were honoured for 25 years of loyal MPO membership.

The Associate Member Recognition Award (AMRA) is given to an associate member company that, judged by the membership, is deserving of recognition for their contribution to the association and to the industry.

  • Commercial Urban Farm Models for Guelph, Ontario
    Commercial Urban Farm Models for Guelph, Ontario by Masha Kazakevich A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Masters of Landscape Architecture in Landscape Architecture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Masha Kazakevich, May, 2013 ABSTRACT COMMERCIAL URBAN FARM MODELS FOR GUELPH, ONTARIO Masha Kazakevich Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Karen Landman The current food system relies on global industrial agriculture and undermines food security partly by destroying the economic underpinnings of a localised food system. The potential efficiency of ecologically-integrated local agriculture addresses the economic and environmental implications of climate change associated with the food chain. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare existing North American models of commercially successful UA from northern climates and to create sample designs of an urban agricultural (UA) enterprise for sites in Guelph, Ontario. A case study approach and literature review was used to elicit key components of successful UA. Results indicate that profitable small scale, ecologically integrated agri-enterprises require a high degree of technical and business skills. Two site-specific designs provide examples of how a commercial urban farm can be incorporated into the city matrix of Guelph, Ontario. Keywords: Entrepreneurial UA, f ood security; bio-regional food systems; sustainable urban design; food culture; urban resilience; municipal economics ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my advisor, Karen Landman, for her clarity, wisdom and humour. Her support allowed me to balance the needs of my newborn son and the thesis work, without compromising the quality of either. It has been a great pleasure to work with Professor Landman and share our passion for UA.

  • Horse Meat Production in Canada
    Horse Meat Production in Canada How can Canadian consumers be sure that the meat they are buying is exactly what is stated on the package (i.e. if it is labelled beef, then it only contains beef, not horse meat or some other meat)? In Canada, it is illegal to sell food in a manner that is misleading or deceptive. Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) inspectors are present in all federally registered slaughter and processing establishments to verify that meat products are produced in accordance with Canadian law. In addition to visual inspection, the CFIA tests domestic and imported products to verify that verify that meat products are indeed the stated species. Compliance for both domestic and imported products is very high. The CFIA is aware that in 2013, horse meat was discovered in some otherwise labelled meat products in Europe. However, Canadian consumers should note two important facts. First, Canada does not currently permit beef imports from Europe. Second, in Canada, the potential use of horse meat as a substitute for beef would be unlikely. There are only four federally registered establishments that perform horse slaughter, and most of this meat is exported. In addition, the economic situation in Canada is different from Europe given that fresh beef here costs less than horse meat. What process does meat inspection follow in Canada to prevent the wrongful inclusion of horse meat? All food sold in Canada must comply with the Food and Drugs Act, the Food and Drug Regulations, and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and Regulations. The Food and Drugs Act prohibits the sale of food in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive.
