"The CRA plays a pivotal role as the voice of the equipment rental industry, and we wanted to be part of that community. We know that people turn to the Association to find solutions, whether it be looking at the directory of members to find a provider or industry vendors looking for ways to develop their reach by finding new dealers."

"The entire team is proud to be affiliated with the association. CRA has allowed us to stay in tune with what is happening across the rental industry. Our membership has allowed us to keep up with the latest trends from across Canada. And, let’s face it, if you’re not learning best practices from industry colleagues, you’re simply not going to grow. We cannot say enough about the great work the CRA continues to do. I would encourage others to take full advantage of association membership and its many benefits."
