BC Chicken Marketing Board
The B.C. Chicken Marketing Board was created under the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act in 1961. It was the first poultry Board created in Canada.
The mandate of the Board is to monitor and regulate the production and marketing of chicken in British Columbia and this includes all activities from the time the chick hatches until the chicken is purchased at the retail level. This is done through the reporting procedures established between the Board office and the hatcheries, growers, truckers and processors and through field inspections and monitoring by Board inspectors.
British Columbia has more than 300 chicken growers licensed by the Board. Most of those growers hold quota and the balance hold permits issued to them by the Board. Growers produce a variety of chicken fro the free run and free range to specific breeds such as the Silkie or Taiwanese chicken. All growers are required to apply for a license each calendar year and may be granted a license if they continue to be in good standing with the Board.
