We are deeply saddened by the loss of Barb, a valued member of the CCWG Board for British Columbia. Her contributions and presence will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.😥

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Barb Ydenberg, a cherished member of the Canadian Sheep Federation Board. Barb passed peacefully on Saturday evening in hospice care, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to Canada's sheep industry.

Barb was truly one of the brightest lights in our community, tirelessly working to improve the lives of farmers across the country. Her calm presence, thoughtful leadership, and deep passion for our industry have left an indelible mark.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Barb's family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her spirit, kindness, and lasting contributions will be remembered and celebrated always.

Rest in peace, Barb—you will be greatly missed.
