Mission Statement
Maximize demand for Canadian beef and optimize the value of Canadian beef products.
The Beef Information Centre (BIC) is the beef market development division of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association.
BIC is governed by a committee of elected cattle producers representing over 90,000 beef cattle producers from across Canada.

Over 30 employees work as a team to deliver BIC programs in Canada and the U.S. Our team includes marketing experts, dietitians, chefs and meat cutting experts, public relations and administrative staff. Our U.S. market development team is solely focused on U.S. markets and is focused on working with the Trade (Processors, Retailers and Foodservice) to maximize opportunities that the Canadian Beef Advantage can offer.
