Scott Helps has been elected to take over as director for Zone 1
of the Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board.
Carolynne Griffiths |
He replaces Carolynn Griffiths who did not seek re-election.
She was also chairman of the board, but faced adverse publicity when
allegations in a court case indicated she had close personal relationships with
Bill Gray, owner of L.H. Gray and Sons Ltd. and that a significant percentage
of the undergrade eggs shipped from her farm were paid as Grade A by Gray’s company.
The allegations have yet to be tested in court. Gray has
denied any wrongdoing.
Dianne McComb was re-elected director for Zone 2 and Roger
Pelissero, brother of egg board general manager Harry Pelissero, for Zone 4.
More zone meetings and elections remain to be held.
