Inter Island Sheep Breeders Association
Our Mission: ” To bring together the sheep producers of the Vancouver Island Coastal Region of British Columbia, for the sharing of knowledge regarding all aspects of the sheep industry.”
About IISBA
Interisland Sheep Breeders Association has been serving the interests of sheep producers within the Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands coastal region since the 1960’s. As one of the founding organizations of the BC Sheep Federation, IISBA has been bringing the concerns of sheep producers in our region to the provincial table and then on to the federal table through the Canadian Sheep Federation.
If you have sheep, and need resources, help, information or someone to share your sheep stories with, IISBA is the organization that can do that for you. If you are not a member, consider joining to help us help sheep breeders across the province.
