2026 District Meetings
October 20, 2026 4:30 pm
Locations around Manitoba
MBP is a non-profit organization with a producer-elected board consisting of 14 directors, each representing producers in a specific region or district of the province. We work on behalf of approximately 6,000 local beef producers, including those in the cow-calf, backgrounding and finishing sectors. Our mission is to represent you through communication, advocacy, research, and education — within the industry and to governments, consumers and others to improve prosperity and ensure a sustainable future.
The district meetings provide a valuable opportunity for face-to-face conversations between MBP’s directors, staff, producers and other stakeholders. Key district meeting components include overviews of MBP’s finances, its advocacy efforts, and updates on policies, issues and trends affecting the industry. And there is the opportunity for you to help guide MBP’s activities through formulating resolutions for potential debate at the 48th MBP Annual General Meeting in Winnipeg in February 2027.
In-person meetings start at 4:30 p.m. with updates on MBP’s work. There will be a break around 5:45 p.m. for a free beef on a bun meal and fellowship. At 6:30 p.m. presentations resume and director elections will be held. There will also be an opportunity to explore possible resolutions for debate at MBP’s 48th AGM or to suggest action items.
The all-districts virtual meeting begins at 6:30pm and will be delivered via Zoom. Advance registration is mandatory so that MBP can send a meeting agenda, materials and the Zoom link.
*Please pre-register everyone attending to help MBP track quorum and to assist with meal counts. MBP also needs your municipality and/or mailing address to ensure you are eligible to vote in the meeting you attend.
