See how check-off and import levy makes a difference

If you're headed to Calgary to the Canadian Beef Industry Conference (CBIC), it's a sure sign that you have a 'steak' in the beef game here in Canada. At CBIC, you'll be able to connect with those organizations who are working to 'Secure Our Future' in the beef industry.

Stop in at the sessions hosted by the organizations who invest your check-off and import levy dollars, and learn about what your dollars are doing. You can also stop by the Canadian Beef Check-Off Agency booth in the tradeshow hall (#207) and meet Agency Members, staff, and representatives from different organizations funded by check-off and import levy.
