NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Leaders from each of Canada’s home improvement dealers’ associations met during the recent Hardlines Conference to formalize their union under an umbrella association, the Canadian Retail Building Supply Council (CRBSC).
Richard Darveau, president and CEO of AQMAT, and current CRBSC chair, took the occasion of the conference, which had gathered 165 leaders from retail, wholesale, and vendor sides of the industry in one room, to announce the formalization of the CRBSC and its first board meeting, which took place following the conference itself.
