Find out about the people behind the Canadian Seal Industry.
Our Team
At Canadian Seal Products, project governance and management is provided by the Board of Directors of the Fur Institute of Canada (FIC) and the Sealing Committee (SC).
Decision and implementation of the different activities is undertaken in close collaboration with the Seals and Sealing Network (SSN) through different sub-committees (Oil, Fur, Meat, Branding, Indigenous, PIC&D and Animal/Human Health). These subcommittees form the backbone of Sealing Industry engagement and collaboration in different industry projects.
