Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have proven their dedication to educating and inspiring the next generation of outstanding Manitobans. Today, Manitoba Pork has launched “Manitoba’s Best Teacher”, a contest to acknowledge and celebrate four teachers across the province who deserve special acknowledgement, and who have gone above and beyond in keeping our schools safe and classrooms functioning this past year.

“Teachers have been challenged throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, but their commitment to educating students across our province has been unwavering,” Manitoba Pork community engagement coordinator Laurel Lyons said. “Manitoba Pork is proud to recognize deserving teachers with a special gift and prizes for their school staff as a token of appreciation from Manitoba’s hog farmers.”

As part of the campaign, Manitoba Pork is asking students, parents, and educators to submit nominations for deserving teachers who have gone above and beyond in their dedication to their students. The winning teachers will receive a $500 Visa gift card and a pork-based lunch for their entire school staff.

Nominations can be submitted at manitobapork.com/teacher. Nominators are asked to include the name of the teacher, the school’s name and location, as well as a brief paragraph explaining why their teacher deserves this special recognition. Nominations are open today and will close on June 9. Manitoba Pork will work with the winning teachers to organize lunch deliveries before the end of the school year and in accordance with provincial COVID-19 protocols.

Manitoba Pork is the representative organization for all pork producers in Manitoba. Our mission is to foster the sustainability and prosperity of the hog sector for the good of pork producers and all Manitobans.
