25 YEARS OF SUPPORT IN THE CANADIAN AG INDUSTRY

CAAR was originally established to unite ag retailers from coast-to-coast and speak as one unified voice with politicians and members of the public. Just as the agriculture industry has had to evolve, so too has CAAR and its membership.

While CAAR focused primarily on lobbying, communications and the annual convention in its early years, the focus was later expanded to include items such as safety standards and training. Today, CAAR’s focus has once again shifted as it is faced with a list of issues that includes industry consolidation and more stringent government regulations.

While CAAR has undergone significant changes over the past 25 years, one thing that has remained the same, its commitment to protecting and promoting the interests of all Canadian ag retailers.

CAAR’S PURPOSE
