The birth of our company started with Glover Lawrence's meat shop located in Rolla B.C in 1931.  With the extension of the Northern Alberta Railway to Dawson Creek many merchants including Lawrence Meat Market moved to Dawson Creek in 1941.

In July of 1943 Joe Lafond joined Lawrence Meats. A short time later his wife Irene Lafond came to work as a secretary.  One year later in 1944 they bought a half interest in the business and when the company was incorporated in 1956 Joe Lafond became the principal owner.

A new slaughter facility was constructed and obtained federal inspection in 1966.  Prior to that the company name was changed to Lawrence Meat Packing Co. Ltd.

Today the Lafond family still owns and operates Lawrence Meat Packing Co. Ltd. and The Butcher Block, a retail meat store.  Dawson Creek and area has witnessed many new upgrades and additions to the company, most recently, the expansion of The Butcher Block.

We pride ourselves as a locally owned and operated family business. Our focus is on quality, price and service.  We also maintain that it is our staff and our valued customers that have made this company a success.
