Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CYL) is pleased to announce the semi-finalists for the upcoming 2025–2026 program year.
Established by the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) in 2010, the CYL Program welcomes young people ages 18–35 from across Canada involved in all areas of the beef supply chain. The CYL Program aims to build the next generation of industry leaders by providing unique mentorship, training, and professional and personal development opportunities in the Canadian beef industry.
A judging panel selected the semi-finalists from impressive written applications submitted by youth from across the country. Applications are available annually from early January to the end of March on the Canadian CYL Program website.
Semi-finalists will be invited to attend the annual CYL Selections Competition in September. The semi-finalists will participate in judged roundtable discussions on timely beef industry related topics to compete for a spot in the upcoming program year.
