Jillian Craig has been involved with CanACT for the past year after having an interest in agricultural issues. She is currently the Vice President of the club. Jillian is in her third year at the University of Guelph and is majoring in Animal Science. One day she hopes to be an animal nutritionist and farm alongside her father. She was raised on a sheep and beef farm and hopes to continue her involvement with the sheep industry.

Jillian has been involved in Junior Farmers and 4-H for numerous years. She shows her purebred sheep at local fairs and at other events such as the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Jillian also enjoys showing and riding her horses, as well as showing pigs, cattle and even chickens at some of the fairs.

Recently, she went to Oklahoma State University on a CanACT exchange to experience the culture and agricultural industry which was an opportunity of a lifetime.

“CanACT has opened the door for countless opportunities and focuses on current issues in agriculture. I believe that our members become well rounded in industry issues and the club helps individuals network and learn important life skills to take forward into the workplace.”
