The Jump Canada Board held a productive open house at the Equine Canada Convention in Ottawa to deal with the Task Force exclusivity recommendations. The Board then followed up with lengthy and highly positive consideration of the Task Force report and recommendations during its regularly scheduled Board meeting on Saturday, January 29th.
The Board wishes to express its sincere appreciation for the time and efforts of the Task Force members. While none of the Task Force’s recommendations were specifically adopted, the Board did agree to create three working groups to further study, revise and build upon some of the recommendations. All conflicts of interest on the Board, real or perceived, were acknowledged and dealt with professionally and appropriately. It is anticipated that the working groups will report back to the Board no later than the next Jump Canada Board meeting in May.
“I am very pleased with the progress that has been made with regard to these important issues and I am thankful for the positive and respectful process that has occurred,” stated John Taylor, Chair of Jump Canada.
