CanadaGAP has announced its 2026 Technical Advisory Committee members. The volunteer committee serves a technical advisory role to the CanAgPlus Board of Directors. The group meets each summer and holds additional meetings as needed. The Committee’s role is to review proposed updates to the CanadaGAP Food Safety manuals, HACCP models and the CanadaGAP Audit Checklist. They also review any other technical matters related to the program.

The Board appointed one new member, Amy Cochrane-Knotek, and one returning member, Lily Indajati, to the Technical Advisory Committee. Five other individuals, Sara Cook, Adrien Corbiere, Jeff Hall, Stéphanie Levasseur and Quinton Woods, are returning members. Beth Pattillo, a director on the CanAgPlus Board, was reappointed as Committee chair.

Nominations to the Technical Advisory Committee are accepted annually. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply through the nomination process each year.
