Bruce Burrows will be the next executive director of Grain Growers of Canada (GGC).
Burrows has previously served as president and CEO of the Chamber of Marine Commerce and as vice president and acting president and CEO of the Railway Association of Canada. He also has experience in consulting and policy through Tactix Government Relations and BurCan Consulting.
Burrows will assume the role from previous executive director Kyle Larkin, who stepped down in December.
In a Thursday morning written release, Burrows called it “a real honour to join Grain Growers of Canada and represent the interests of grain farmers across the country.”
“Strong advocacy starts with strong connections, and I look forward to strengthening those relationships by working with producers and members across Canada to ensure their priorities continue to be clearly heard in Ottawa,” he said.
Burrows’ role begins April 1.
