A Brief Description

 
 

The Ontario Veal Association (OVA) is a producer run organization that is dedicated to representing the interests of both grain fed and milk fed veal producers in Ontario. As well, the OVA is committed to enhancing the Ontario veal industry on behalf of all those associated with the industry, including packers, processors, feed companies, pharmaceutical companies, retailers, foodservice, and other service and equipment suppliers.

The OVA became an incorporated organization under the Agricultural and Horticultural Organizations Act in 1990, thereby replacing previous organizations whose interests were specific to the grain fed and milk fed sectors of the veal industry.

The business of the OVA is handled by a Board of Directors that consists of eight producers who are elected to a two year term by their fellow producers at the Annual General Meeting held every year in January. The OVA constitution makes provision for at least one grain fed or milk fed producer to represented on the Board at all times. Only those Ontario veal producers who hold "voting member" status with the OVA may vote on motions or for elections at the AGM.  Click here for more information on the OVA's Board of Directors
