Tradeshow season: it’s a wrap!

RECA’s official tradeshow season is finished. Attendance at tradeshows is part of RECA’s consumer and industry outreach campaigns. Events like these help to ensure RECA engages directly with all stakeholders, including consumers and industry.

This year RECA attended home shows in Calgary, Red Deer, and Edmonton. RECA also had a presence at Calgary Law Day, the Fraud Prevention Month kick-off at Cross Iron Mills, and at the Better Business Bureau’s shred event.

Consumers and industry alike continue to be very interested in RECA’s mandate. A big thank you to everyone who dropped by our booths at these various events across the province.
