Our History
As of December 1, 2011, the BC Dairy Foundation and BC Milk Producers Association merged into one organization, the BC Dairy Association. The new name of BC Dairy Association is a combination of BC Dairy Foundation and BC Milk Producers Association. We are still a registered not-for-profit society, funded by the dairy producers of BC
The BC Dairy Foundation had been dedicated to increasing consumption of milk in BC and delivering innovative nutrition education programs to British Columbia consumers for over 30 years. Over the same time period, BC Milk Producers Association had supported BC dairy producers with programs and initiatives to promote a vibrant and sustainable industry that supplies the best quality milk to consumers. For the past six years, both organizations were managed from the same office.
