Recap of the plant visits in Bedford and Québec
A few days ago, 13 delegates, facilitators, and young facilitators from Québec had the opportunity to visit our Québec plant, while two members from the Atlantic provinces were welcomed at our Bedford plant in Nova Scotia. These visits took place as part of the very first edition of our contest, “An Exclusive Look Into the Heart of an Agropur Plant,” which launched this spring.
Organized to highlight the importance of our members’ involvement within the Cooperative, this contest was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the teams at the participating plants.
Each visit offered our members access to the plant’s operations and the chance to meet the on-site teams. They enjoyed a guided tour through the various stages of processing and discovered the facilities and technologies used. The day concluded with a tasting of products made at the plant and a friendly meal.
Buoyed by this success, we hope to repeat the initiative every year, giving more members the chance to enjoy this unique experience.
Here are a few photos capturing the highlights of these visits.

This contest is exclusively open to delegates and young leaders in recognition of their commitment to the Cooperative.
To be eligible, simply attend the 2026 Annual General Meeting and the Delegates’ Summit, either online or in person.
No prior registration is required. Among eligible members, 15 participants will be randomly selected to enjoy this exclusive experience.
Role of Delegates at Agropur
At Agropur, delegates, who are member dairy producers, play a crucial role in the Cooperative’s democratic governance. Elected by their peers during the regional meetings held in November, the target ratio is one delegate for every seven members.
At the Annual General Meetings, delegates are involved in major strategic decisions, such as voting on special resolutions and electing members of the Board of Directors.
Their mandate includes several key responsibilities, notably active participation in Agropur’s cooperative life events, serving as a communication link between members and the Board, and voicing members’ concerns.
As true ambassadors of the Cooperative, delegates are essential to ensuring clear, transparent, and effective governance.
