Nov. 23, 2010 – The Ontario chapter of the Canadian Rental Association (CRA) held a member's meeting recently in Toronto, drawing together about 40 members of the rental industry. The evening was kicked off by a facility tour of Trinitec's Cansel facility which was hosted by Richard Barker. Afterwards the meeting moved across the street to the DoubleTree Hotel.

A panel discussion on loss prevention took place after dinner. It was moderated by Mike Maltby of Ingersoll Rent-All and featured James Morden of Rentshop, Peter Webster of McLean Sherwood Party Rental, Penny O'Sullivan of ABCO Equipment and Ken Fingler of Western Financial Group Insurance Solutions.

Each of the panelists detailed examples of losses that occurred in their business and how rental operators can avoid a similar fate. There was an intense discussion, with many members of the audience participating. Everyone that attended came away with some excellent ideas on how to prevent loss from their business locations.

The next Ontario chapter event will be the tabletop show in London at the Lamplighter Inn on Saturday, January 22nd. Watch for additional details soon at www.canadianrentalservice.com .
