The Canadian Cattle Association had a record turnout for its fall barbecue, hosted in the East Block Courtyard on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on September 18, 2024. CCA board, directors and staff welcomed ministers, members of parliament, senators, staffers and other key stakeholders back to Ottawa for the fall session.
A local catering company served 450 delicious beef brisket sandwiches and bowls, made with Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef-certified Canadian beef. This encouraging turnout helps CCA continue to build vital relationships with parliamentarians as the organization continues to advocate for beef producers across Canada.
The barbecue was a great success and kickoff to CCA’s fall advocacy engagement with parliamentarians. Senators and members of parliament representing all parties were in attendance.
