CAM’s Annual Conference is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, November 22-23, 1999, at the Wyndham Bristol Place Hotel in Toronto. Watch for your brochure in the mail. The following topics will be addressed:
In its efforts to ensure that the public recognizes the CAM/ACD logos as an indication of an ethical, economic and efficient mover, CAM is developing a new vehicle sign that will incorporate the Better Business Bureau’s logo. This will show the public that CAM members adhere to the principles stated by the Better Business Bureau.
A few examples of what Listowel Moving & Storage and D’Arcy Moving & Storage have done with the CAM logo on their vehicles and in their Yellow Pages ads can be seen on our Website at www.mover.net.
In an ongoing effort to eliminate fly-by-night movers and their effects on our industry, CAM is extending its government awareness campaign to the Workers’ Compensation Board of every province and to Revenue Canada’s GST group. It seems that these two legislated requirements are the first expenses an unethical mover cuts in an effort to compete on a price basis alone.
The moving consultant’s course, which CAM is developing in cooperation with Dalhousie University, is currently being updated, revised, tested and posted to the Internet. Rollout is planned for the Annual Conference. This course will be accessible only on the Web. It will not only develop moving consultants’ skills but also will help to develop a group of computer-literate personnel. Candidates will be able to progress at their own speed through the course by taking advantage of the course’s automated marking systems.
CAM’s Annual Golf Tournament was held as scramble (best ball) at the Cardinal Golf Club in Newmarket on September 22nd. 70 movers came to dinner. David Fletcher of AMJ Campbell won the longest drive with a 350-yard blast and Russ Taylor of Taylor Moving & Storage won the closest-to-the-pin competition. The team from L. Hansen Forwarding and AMJ Campbell won the Past Presidents’ Cup. It was our best yet: golf, food, fellowship, prizes.
CAM IS MOVING ON OCTOBER 12th
