NSCP Communications

...are on the move

Since NS Cattle Producers was created, we have communicated with producers in several different  formats.  We have used Zone meetings, our Annual General Meeting, newsletters, media releases, advertisements, our Annual Report and mailers including letters from our Chairman.

We have started to email much of our correspondence to those producers who supply email addresses.  Additionally, we plan to make better use of our website and newsletter formats. In coming months, this website will be changed and upgraded, with flash technology and more regular information updates.

We plan to add more recent archived newsletters and Annual Reports to this site and the new site.

We have already retained copies of the  Nova Scotia Cattlemen's Association "N.S.C.Action" newsletter.  These newsletters chronicle many of the important changes associated with the decision to create NSCP.   Those archived issues of the NSCA newsletter are available below – click to view!
