Connecting Canada Coast To Coast

From Vancouver to Moncton: We are connecting heavy industry in Canada - and what is coming next.

Life as a business owner, as many of you know, is a whirlwind. One day you’re on top of the world, the next day you’re left wondering ‘why me?’. Our continuing travel adventures took us most recently to Moncton, NB for the Atlantic Heavy Equipment Show – an excellent and well attended industry event. Getting there? That was another story. A 24h flight delay, a snowstorm during our layover, a 12h walk-about in the Calgary airport and a last minute scramble to source a red-eye flight into Moncton. We rolled into the Moncton Coliseum an hour before showtime, via the local Walmart, where I had picked up clean clothes to replace the ones stuck in Calgary. We did all the things, saw all the people, scanned all the badges, ate all the seafood, and had a marvelous show. It was most certainly worth the hassle. Next show stops for Supply Post: Toronto for Truck World and NHES, Kamloops for the ILA Convention, Grande Prairie and Nisku energy shows, Vancouver for ICBA’s “Meet the Generals”, and finally the APNA truck show in Abbotsford this June. We hope to see you there. Be sure to stop by and say hello.

Digital Services

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we’re moving into what’s next in our website and digital reinvention. Having recently upgraded our equipment detail pages, we’re now getting close to rolling out the next big phase. I’d like to drop a hint as to what we’re up to, but I’m not AIble to at this stage. What I can say is this: it’s something meaningful for the industry and a gigantic step forward in how buyers and sellers connect. Watch our social channels, sign up for e-news (www.supplypost.com/e-news) and keep an eye on these pages for more details.

Edmonton Equipment Expo

In other news, on the heels of a very strong inaugural Alberta Equipment Expo in 2025, the show returns April 22-23, 2027 at the Edmonton Expo Centre. We are pleased to once again be named the Official Show Guide Producer. See all the show info at albertaequipmentexpo.ca.

Please be sure to look for your next equipment or parts purchase right here in the paper, or online at www.supplypost.com and tell the seller you saw it in Supply Post. Canadian heavy industry has trusted us for over 55 years and we appreciate it when you mention us by name.
