The voice of the dairy processing industry in Alberta

A registered non-profit society, the Alberta Dairy Council is the dairy processing industry's principal liaison with provincial milk producer organizations and regulatory agencies, government, national dairy organizations and other stakeholders.

Our member companies process 99% of the milk produced in the Province of Alberta. We  manufacture and market all types of finished dairy products from the milk you serve at your breakfast table to the artisan cheese you enjoy at your favourite restaurant and the butter and cream used to make the pastries at your local patisserie.  Our members' facilities range from small, on-farm operations to large, state-of-the-art factories and distribution centres. 

Our Role

• To be the liaison between dairy processors and other interested groups

• To promote sound public policy and any other initiatives that benefit the dairy processing industry in Alberta

• To promote cooperation with other industry organizations and stakeholders
  
• To enhance the industry's public image and reputation
  
• To provide leadership on major issues in the dairy sector    
  

Our Mandate

The Alberta Dairy Council represents and promotes the collective best interests of its members with emphasis on ensuring industry sustainability by fostering growth, development and innovation.  We do so by monitoring and influencing all dairy-related issues, trends and public policies that affect our members’ competitiveness, profitability and ability to meet consumer needs and by facilitating industry education where applicable.
