Thank you to Ken Johnson (Alumni), Mark Lindstrom (Waste Connections of Canada), Gary Vos (Tri-R Transport Ltd.) and Mike Lackie (Dieseltech Truck Repair & Mobile Service) for all of their work on the board over many years. We sincerely appreciate your commitment and participation.
A big thank you to our guest speakers Honourable Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, and Ken Peacock, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Business Council of British Columbia, for presenting at our event. We would also like to acknowledge all those of you who came to Kelowna, joined together for meals, and attended the AGM and business sessions. There is always a positive, energetic charge to this event that comes from the people who attend and take part.
Please keep an eye on your inbox for this year’s Rearview Mirror a little later this month that will include business session summaries and handouts, speeches, award winners, photos and additional recognition for the many sponsors who supported our biggest event of the year. As we head into 2022/23, we look forward to another year of serving our BCTA members!
