Mr. Coles has also reported that Anthony Nabuurs of Montague has been elected by acclamation to represent Kings County on the Prince Edward Island Hog Commodity Marketing Board.

Under the Hog Commodity Marketing Regulations, a board member whose term of office has expired but who has not served two full terms is considered re-elected in the event that no nominations are received. As a result, Robert K. Cousins of Darnley has been re-elected to represent Prince County on the Board.
