December 1, 2025 (Saskatoon, Sask.) – Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) is pleased to announce the results of its Board of Directors election, following the close of voting on November 28. The election brings one new Director to the board while retaining two Directors for another term.
Joining the SPG Board is Dan Flynn of Lucky Lake. SPG welcomes back Robyn Henry of Hodgeville and Stuart Lawrence of Rosetown, who were both re-elected. The newly elected Directors will officially join SPG’s Board in January 2026, following the organization’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate Dan, Robyn, and Stuart,” says SPG Chair Winston van Staveren. “Each elected member brings valuable experience, expertise, and diverse perspectives that represent a wide range of growing regions across the province. I also want to thank all the candidates who put their names forward. The increased level of engagement and strong slate of candidates this year was positive to see.”
Van Staveren also acknowledged outgoing board member Brad Blackwell, who will term out in January after serving three terms on the SPG Board. “Brad served as SPG’s Board Chair and was a member of the Pulse Canada and Grain Growers of Canada Boards during his tenure. His contributions to the pulse industry and to Saskatchewan’s pulse growers have been invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for his dedication and leadership.”
