Scott Bolton, President & CEO, UFA
Red Deer has a very special place in UFA’s history. Our original President, James Bower, was from Red Deer, and when we opened the first Red Deer Farm Store in 1961, over 1,500 people came out to celebrate. Fast forward to today, and we choose to continue to invest in the community because we know the contributions and value that the people of central Alberta bring to the agricultural industry and beyond. We are excited about what this investment means for our members and customers in and around this central Alberta community, and we are grateful for their continued support.”
Kevin Hoppins, Board Chair, UFA
