Staying the Course

When The Tracker went to press the issue of ‘on again, off again’ tariffs continued to dominate our news feeds. It’s true that we face a higher degree of uncertainly these days. As we continue to monitor the situation, we’re pleased to bring you this edition of The Tracker, filled with association and industry news.

Spring is almost here. Well, not quite. Winter conditions still prevail in much of the country, which likely explains why more Canadians are properly equipping their vehicles with good winter tires. Catch up with TRAC’s survey to that effect.

This issue contains the first of what we hope will be an ongoing series saluting some of our illustrious pioneering colleagues in the industry. Our inaugural piece features Verne Bullock, who built Columbia Tire, starting out in the late 1960s. We hope it will inspire you to think of others who we should cover. Please let us know.

On that note, later this year we’re planning to induct our newest members into the Western Canada Tire Dealers Hall of Fame. We urge you to give serous consideration as to who you feel would be deserving of such an honour. Find more info and the nomination form in this edition.

There’s more, of course, from helpful ideas on how to mitigate risk to your business to a heads-up re. this year’s Alberta Charity Golf Tournament, with all the forms you need included.

Here’s to imminent real spring weather!
