The Minister of Agriculture, Lana Popham announced a funding commitment of up to $450,000 for a beef packing plant project in northern B.C.
“I am excited to support the amazing people who work in our ranching sector in the North and throughout the province. This project has the potential to ensure B.C. cattle are bred, raised and finished in our province, providing retailers, suppliers, restaurants and consumers with great quality B.C. beef. This can provide an economic boost to rural B.C. and give consumers what they want.”
