Welcome to the Voice of Retail for the week of July 22nd, 2019 I’m your host Michael LeBlanc and this podcast is brought to you in conjunction with Retail Council of Canada. In this episode we head to Western Canada for three different perspectives in and around the retail industry. First we put the farmer back in the “Farm to Fork” retail conversation with an exclusive interview featuring Cherilyn Jolly-Nagel, a farmer from Mossbank, Saskatchewan. We talk Ag-tech and how farmers can and should become a bigger part of the food conversation. Next recorded live in Victoria I check in with retailer Bob Ianson, founder and owner of Heritage Linens and RCC long-time Board of Directors member as he gets ready to pass the torch to his daughter after 25 interesting years. Then off to Winnipeg for the big picture perspective with RCC’s Prairie Director John Graham . We do a quick scan of the key issues for retailers based or operating in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
