Member Proposals For AGM

However, when the AGM floor is open for discussions and questions, we encourage you to ask questions and share your comments during the Business Program. Thank you for your participation!

Membership and Seed Crop Certification Application Deadlines Are Upon Us!

Did you know you must complete a CSGA Membership Application/Renewal form each year? That’s right!

The grower responsible for the production and management of the seed crop before applications MUST submit the form unless they are not producing a seed crop this year. Please read through the Application Support Document for specific instructions and requirements.

There are many benefits to CSGA membership besides seed crop certification services.

• We keep you connected with the seed information that matters most to you and your seed business.
• You have voting privileges on CSGA business that help shape your Association.
• We promote the importance of Certified seed and the certification system domestically and abroad.
• We promote the benefits of Certified seed and a strong third party seed certification system.
• We monitor, report and support research and development related to seed production and certification.

You can add growers to your account by listing them on your CSGA Membership Application/Renewal Form or contacting the office.

Whether you are a seed grower or a third party, you can access copies of your crops’ applications, maps, tags, reports, and certification progress through SeedCert. Before you harvest, check on the status of your crops to ensure that all is well and that a certificate has been issued! 

We are always here to help you. If you have questions or require assistance, please contact us via email or telephone at (613) 236-0497, ext. 8803.
