Edmonton, Alberta — The Alberta Auto Recyclers and Dismantlers Association annual convention kicks off tomorrow, on September 20, inside the West Edmonton Mall.
The annual conference will feature special events such as product demonstrations by ELV Select, heavy equipment demos and a tour of Aldon Auto Salvage’s yard in Lamont, Alta.
Impact Auto Auctions will host a live and silent auction on Saturday night. All proceeds from the auction will go toward sponsoring the Jack Cohen award, which will be presented on Saturday evening. Awarded to children of direct members of the AARDA, the scholarship is meant to assist in the pursuit of post-secondary schooling, apprenticeship opportunities, or training in their selected field. Established in 2017, the award honours Cohen, who began with the AARDA in 1988 as one of its first members. Cohen was very active within the industry, especially the AARDA until he passed away in 2017.
