CGC license changes

Two licences expired, and the CGC issued two others

The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) recently had some licenses expire, and it issued two others.

Last week, licenses expired for two companies.

On May 5, Richardson Pioneer’s Vulcan 2 elevator in Alberta had a licence change.

“Primary elevator licence no longer held,” the CGC’s website says.

This kind of licence goes to “an operator of an elevator which primarily receices grain directly from producers, for either or both storage and forwarding,” the CGC says.

On May 8, Prairie Group Exports in Lestock, Sask., underwent its own license change.

“Grain dealer license no longer held,” according to the CGC.

This type of license is for “a person who, for reward, on his own behalf or the behalf of another person, deals in or handles western grain,” the CGC says.

The CGC also recently issued two licenses.

One went to TA Foods in Yorkton, Sask. on May 5.

This company, which has flax seed processing, oilseed crushing and other services, received a process elevator license.

This license “may be issued to an operator of an elevator which receives and stores grain for direct manufacture or processing into other products.”

That same day, SG Ceresco Inc., a soybean processor in Saint-Urbain-Premier, Que., received a grain dealer license.
