![]() We’ll be calling on Colette Prefontaine, Pedigreed Seed Territory Manager – Western Prairies, to write more posts for our Behind the Seeds Blog now that we now she also holds degrees in English and History. Shaan Tsai, Canola Product Development Manager, once lived every kid’s dream when his family won a year’s supply of pop through a contest! Shaan, my 8-year-old self is jealous of your 8-year-old self! Our very own President & CEO Dave Hansen is really an accomplished accordion player! (Maybe we’ll get a little musical accompaniment for our next meeting?) Page Newton, Territory Manager for Southern Alberta, who is now and forevermore going to be referred to as "milk maid", once took her love of ag across the ocean and learned about dairy farming in New Zealand. I always knew we were a talented and creative crew, but the things you learn while social distancing really opened our eyes! “The support from Senior Management has truly been excellent and these meetings really cemented for me how down-to-earth, sincere and genuine this company is.” Oh, the Things We Learned About Eachother… “I really appreciated the team’s patience, focus and attitude as we went through the meetings,” says Lorri. It helped break up the virtual call and kept the team bonding alive! Our Director of Sales, Lorri Keyowski, added some light and laughter into five, half-day virtual meetings with our entire organization by gathering some Fun Facts and letting the team take a guess before revealing the secret identity. But just because we’re house-bound doesn’t mean we can’t find opportunities to have a little fun! Of course, it wasn’t in the cards for us to meet in person this spring, as our team is observing recommendations on social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. It’s a critical time for our entire team to come together each year to welcome our new members and bond as a group through shared experiences and laughs throughout our week of meetings. Our annual Spring Sales Meeting is an important opportunity for reflection, planning and sharing of ideas. Here are just a few of the ways our CANTERRA SEEDS family has been staying connected and sharing positive experiences while practicing social social distancing over the past couple of weeks. As we all experience an Easter that looks a lot different from the traditional gatherings and services many of us would normally be immersed in at this time of year, CANTERRA SEEDS is celebrating some of the ways our great team has come together from afar to lift each other’s spirits!
