FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 9, 2023
Ancaster, Ontario, Canada – The Friends of Canadian
Simmental Foundation (FCSF) are pleased to announce
another successful event hosted with a live auction and
amazing hospitality provided by the Ontario Simmental
Association.
Ancaster Fair Grounds was a spectacular location for this
year’s Canadian Simmental Association’s (CSA) National
Convention and AGM; with the FCSF annual auction once again a highlight of the weekend’s activities.
Close to 300 people from across Canada gathered for
the annual event which took part August 5th, following
the Canadian Simmental Association Annual meeting
and banquet. The 2023 FCSF Auction raised a total of
$132,470, our highest auction total to date. This total
included $48,820 that was raised on Lot 1, a bred
heifer “Destiny Currency Shania donated by Destiny
Simmentals of Meaford Ontario.
During the 2023 Young Canadian Simmental Association’s
(YCSA) National show, which was held the final day of
the Convention, the FCSF Directors presented $15,000
from the auction proceeds to the YCSA for ongoing
youth activities. The FCSF also donated $5,000 to help
financially support YCSA members with travel costs to
get to Ontario.
“The Foundation is thrilled with the success of our 2023
auction, it is always wonderful to get together with fellow
breeders to celebrate our breed and our youth” stated
FCSF President Garth Rancier. “The funds collected will
continue to be used for youth development, education,
research, scholarships and bursaries.”
