Premiere Bull Congress January 22 and 23, 2016 Camrose Regional Exhibition Triple Crown $10,000 is on the line! Your Opportunity to Profit 3 C A N A D I A N B U L L C O N G R E S S 2 0 1 6 Message from the Chairman We are in for some exciting times in the cattle industry! You can feel the electricity in the air, and see people’s smiles at the auction markets’ 2015 fall run. Welcome to the 30th Annual Canadian Bull Congress! I would like to thank all the people involved over the last 30 years that have made the Canadian Bull Congress such a huge, huge success! Come see some of the best genetics in the world. David Vikse, Chairman Canadian Bull Congress Message from the President On behalf of the CRE board of directors, management and staff, I would like to welcome you to the 30th annual Canadian Bull Congress. This is an international event that brings producers and buyers from all over the world together to showcase their animals, and provide a unique opportunity to expand their marketing network face to face with their peers, all under one roof, and all in one weekend. It is also an opportunity for companies to showcase their product lines to some of the most progressive cattle producers in the world. In addition to the cattle shows, our Bull Congress Committee and our Major Events and Agricultural Marketing Manager, Marilyn Lee, have worked hard to put together an unforgettable weekend of entertainment, food and education for all in attendance. Last year, we expanded on the School Education Program in an effort to further educate young people about the Agricultural Industry. It was a huge success with over 650 students and teachers attending, and it is our intent to expand this program yet again in 2016. What better way to bring urban and rural cultures together? I would like to thank you, our sponsors, exhibitors, producers and volunteers, for making this the premier event that it has become, and hope to see you in January. Dave Chamberlain, President Camrose Regional Exhibition 4 C A N A D I A N B U L L C O N G R E S S 2 0 1 6 Message from the County 30 years! Welcome to the 30th Canadian Bull Congress. 2015 proved to be a year of extremes. Historically high beef prices were offset by widespread drought and corresponding feed shortages. Nevertheless, you in the beef industry showed, once again, your top management skills in adapting to the challenges and opportunities of 2015. And those are the characteristics of the beef industry: resilience, managing and meeting challenges head on, and planning for next year. The 2016 Bull Congress is a marvelous showcase for producers and exhibitors. As well, there is a top-notch program involving school children and the general public. On behalf of County Council and the residents of the County, we extend a heartfelt thanks to the Board of Directors, the CRE staff, all the volunteers and exhibitors for all their efforts in making this 30th Bull Congress such a valuable and important part of Alberta’s cattle industry. Reeve Don Gregorwich, Camrose County Message from the Mayor On behalf of Camrose City Council, I would like to welcome you to the Canadian Bull Congress. We should all acknowledge this outstanding event that has provided an opportunity for cattlemen and agricultural related product and service exhibitors to work with each other to continue to grow our cattle industry over the past 30 years. Dedication and hard work are demonstrated consistently from the Camrose Regional Exhibition and the Canadian Bull Congress to promote and market our cattle industry on local, national and international levels. I hope that you enjoy the hospitality from our City and that you’ll allow us to welcome you back to Camrose for years to come. Norm Mayer, Mayor, City of Camrose Message from the Minister As Minister of Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, it is my pleasure to bring greetings from the Government of Alberta and to welcome you to the 2016 Canadian Bull Congress. This year marks the 30th anniversary of this premier agricultural event, a cause for great celebration. The Canadian Bull Congress brings together key partners in our cattle industry, along with numerous other livestock and agricultural exhibitors to share information and resources, showcase their products and learn from one another. Alberta’s beef and cattle industry is second to none. We continue to be the largest cattle-producing province in Canada, and the quality of our products is, without question, among the best in the world. Our well-earned reputation for excellence is thanks to the hard work of producters, breeders and all the members of the cattle sector. Events like the Canadian Bull Congress help to build on this tradition and ultimately lead to our continued success. Thank you to the organizers for making this event possible, and for your dedication to Alberta’s livestock industry. I wish you and all the visitors to the Congress a prosperous 2016.

What is liability insurance and why is it important? Liability insurance covers claims made against you by third parties who allege that something you did or failed to do caused them some kind of bodily injury or property damage. The insurance protects you in two ways: • It will pay amounts you owe to a third party because of court judgement or an out-of-court settlement of a claim. • It will provide you with a legal defence when a claim is made against you, regardless of whether you were negligent or not. If you do not have liability insurance when a claim is made against you, you must pay your own legal costs and, if you are found liable, you will have to pay the settlement/judgement. The legal costs involved in fighting a claim can be substantial and, in today’s legal climate, claim settlements and awards are becoming even larger. Without insurance, you will have to use your assets to cover those costs. Why does Camrose Regional Exhibition care about your liability insurance? To make sure that both you and the CRE are protected against claims that may arise from your participation in the Canadian Bull Congress. We believe that if you do not have liability insurance in place while you are on our premises, CRE’s liability risk is increased. It is possible that your activities at the Canadian Bull Congress could result in someone getting injured or having property damaged, and then suing you. Some examples might be if your animal kicks a child passing by the stall and causes a serious injury, or if your animal gets loose on the way to the trailer and damages a vehicle. Lawyers typically name as many parties as possible in a lawsuit, so it is very likely that the CRE would be named in a suit against you, simply because the incident took place on our premises, even though we had nothing whatsoever to do with the incident (this is called ‘vicarious liability’). If the lawsuit is successful on the basis that, for example, you negligently failed to control your animal, a judgement will be awarded to the injured person. A legal principle called ‘joint and several liability’ means that every party named in the lawsuit could become responsible to pay the judgment awarded even if the finding of negligence was solely against one. The effect of that, if you have either no liability insurance or insufficient coverage to pay the award and legal fees, is that the other parties who were named may end up paying the cost of your negligence. If that obligation were to fall on the CRE, our insurer may be required to pay and can then take action against you and your assets to recover what it has had to pay. Why does the CRE and City of Camrose wish to be named as Additional Insured on your policy? To ensure that, if the CRE and City of Camrose is named in a lawsuit against you alleging that your negligence caused the injury or damage, CRE is protected against vicarious liability as was explained above. This only applies if there is no negligence on the part of the CRE. Naming the CRE and City of Camrose as Additional Insured on your policy does not mean that you will be insuring the CRE’s negligence. Note that naming the CRE as ‘Additional Insured’ is very different from ‘Additional Named Insured’. If your insurance agent has questions, please have them call the CRE at 780-672-3640 for clarification. 23 C A N A D I A N B U L L C O N G R E S S 2 0 1 6 TO BE COMPLETED BY YOUR INSURANCE AGENCY CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE This is to certify to Camrose Regional Exhibition that the insurance policies shown below are in effect.
