Partnerships & Programs
Through levy funds provided by registered producers, SaskCanola develops partnerships, programs and funding initiatives that enhance the awareness, growth and prosperity of the canola industry both locally and provincially.
Saskatchewan Roughriders
Canola Country is Rider Country. Our Kickoff to Good Health partnership with the Saskatchewan Roughriders means thousands of fans hear our heart-healthy messages about canola oil during each home game. The Kickoff to Good Health brochure has great recipes for cooks and easy to understand health and nutrition info, download it below. In 2009, the Riders switched their popcorn oil and topping to canola at Mosaic Stadium.
