The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is pleased to announce that Jim Everson will be the next CCC President.

“Jim is a respected leader who brings significant industry vision, as well as understanding of the domestic and global issues and opportunities we face,” says David Dzisiak, Chair of the CCC Board of Directors. “We are confident that with his leadership and expertise, our industry will continue its successful path toward our Keep it Coming 2025 strategy.”

Everson has over six years of previous experience at the Canola Council, serving as Vice President, Government Relations from 2008 to 2015. In this role, he represented the canola industry’s interests in trade, market access and regulatory affairs.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with the tremendous team at the Canola Council; a remarkably talented staff and committed, focused Board of Directors,” says Everson. “I look forward to returning to the Council and being part of the continued growth and success of the canola industry.”

Everson will be assuming the President role as soon as his transition arrangements can be finalized.

Before joining the Canola Council in 2008, Everson was a government relations consultant in Ottawa achieving solutions to government issues for private companies, associations and non-profit groups. He also served as a senior political advisor in the federal government. Everson has a B.A. (Honours) from Queen’s University.
