HALIFAX — The confederacy of regional LBM associations, the Canadian Retail Building Supply Council, met yesterday in Halifax with a group of representatives from across the industry. Called the CRBSC leadership Summit, the event was held during the Building Supply Expo of the Atlantic Building Supply Dealers Association.
In his comments to the group, current CRBSC chair Richard Darveau, who is also president and CEO of the Quebec association, AQMAT, noted that the five associations have had a long and amicable relationship through the years. But aside from sharing information and some best practices, they never worked together in a cohesive manner. That, however, is changing and a number of concrete steps have been taken already to solidify the mandate of the CRBSC.
