The five regional building material retail associations take strategic measures to better defend their 2,400 member merchants and suppliers’ interests.
 Mississauga, April 15, 2016 – After a general meeting on April 14 and 15, 2016 in Mississauga, Ontario, executives of the five regional material retail associations forming the Canadian Retail Building Supply Council (CRBSC) voted in favour of changes that mark a turning point toward the representation of 2,400 member merchants and of their suppliers.
"Founded in the mid-1980s, the umbrella organization established its mission without taking into account the means of achieving it," explains Council President Richard Darveau. The group has always act as a forum in which member organisations exchange ideas, information and practices that benefit the entire industry. The revised rationale behind the CRBSC is to represent the industry in the public place, specially at the federal government level, while proactively addressing national issues.
