In order to meet the growing needs of the horticultural sector and tackle emerging policy objectives, Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) has added a second Manager, Policy and Government Relations to join the team.  Angela Reid, the new manager, will be focused on the two areas of Trade & Marketing and Energy, Environment & Climate Change, to represent members effectively in these two rapidly growing and changing files.

 
Ms. Reid brings nearly two decades of government relations, communications, and public relations experience. Prior to joining FVGC, she was a senior policy advisor at Colleges and Institutes Canada and previously held the position of government relations officer at the Canadian Nuclear Association.

 
Robyn McKee, who has been with FVGC since 2018, returned from maternity leave in February. She will be managing the Business Risk Management, Labour, and Industry Standards & Food Safety files.

 
Before joining FVGC, she held various roles in the Ontario Public Service, and worked for several years for an Official Opposition Member of Parliament.

 
While these two women will have their own areas of focus, they will work closely together on joint projects on behalf of the sector.
