Spring planting is fast approaching and CAAR members across Canada are providing essential services to their customers while taking measures to manage the spread of COVID-19. To help retailers in this critical period, CAAR has created a support section on caar.org with useful resources and answers to member questions.

Retailers are encouraged to visit the Agri-Retailer Support page for:

  • CAAR’s response to Federal and Provincial governments regarding essential services, including letters sent to both levels of government
  • Agri-Retailer Q and A Responses, as well as a link to submit your own questions
  • TDG Temporary Certificate for persons that have a valid and compliant TDG training certificate on March 1, 2020 and are unable to renew the training certificate due to COVID-19 restrictions for in-person training.
  • Links to national and provincial COVID-19 resources
  • Additional articles and resources, including free human resources information from CAAR Perk$ member TwoGreySuits.
