Copithorne-Barnes honoured by U of C
Alberta rancher and industry leader Cherie Copithorne-Barnes has been awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws (Hon. LLD) from the University of Calgary, recognizing her leadership in ranching sustainability and community collaboration.
As CEO of CL Ranches Ltd., a fourth-generation and 138-year-old family operation, Copithorne-Barnes has balanced tradition with innovation — from pioneering stewardship standards to diversifying into innovative ventures.
Lifetime of leadership
Her influence extends across the industry. As the founding council chair of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, she helped bring together ranchers, environmental groups, and business leaders around a shared vision for responsible food production.
Copithorne-Barnes will receive her degree and deliver the University of Calgary convocation address on November 12, reflecting on a lifetime of leadership rooted in agriculture, stewardship, and community.
ABP congratulates Cherie on this well-earned recognition.
More information on the honour is available on the University of Calgary website.
