MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Happy Holidays!

On behalf of CARI’s staff and Board of Directors, I wish all of our members a safe and happy holiday season.
CARI staff is already looking ahead to the new year, beginning with lobbying efforts in response to provincial metal theft legislation and the federal “green recovery” climate plan.

CARI’s staff and Board is also busy strategizing for the 2021 events season. We plan to provide educational sessions and networking opportunities once we can bring members together safely.

Here’s hoping for a COVID-free new year where we can all meet again face-to-face.

Wishing you all the best in 2021.

Kevin Santoro
CARI Chair
