CGCN is a collaboration between the Grape Growers of Ontario, the British Columbia Wine Grape Council, Conseil des vins du Québec, and the Grape Growers Association of Nova Scotia.
Since our incorporation in 2017, our mandate has been to support research and educational initiatives that promote a clean plant network for domestically certified, virus-tested and pathogen-free grapevines in Canada.
