Awards presented at virtual Livestock Care Conference “LCC 2.0”
Bright lights of progress in the midst of challenging times were highlighted as several champions of farm animal care in Alberta were recognized with Awards of Distinction at the recent Livestock Care Conference, hosted by Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC), March 19.
With a theme of “Raising the Bar” this leading animal care conference, re-structured for 2020 as a virtual event “LCC 2.0” in light of COVID-19, featured a speaker series and interactive features along with the annual presentation of these prestigious awards. The AFAC Awards of Distinction recognize individuals or groups who have made exceptional contributions in the field of livestock welfare, with awards in three categories: communication, leadership and innovation.
“Each of the 2020 Award of Distinction recipients serve as outstanding examples for our industry,” says Annemarie Pedersen, Executive Director of AFAC. “They have made strong contribution to animal care and we are very pleased to recognize their accomplishments. Congratulations to our award winners.”
