On January 10, SaskCanola held its Annual General Meeting at the Western Canadian Crop Production Show. After the AGM, three new leadership appointments took place.

The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SaskCanola) and the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission (SaskFlax) have announced a new management collaboration.

The story of canola began in 1942, the middle of World War II. At that time all trains and ships were steam powered and to keep them running smoothly, oil from the rapeseed species Brassica napus and B. rapa were essential.
