The 67th annual conference was held in Kelowna BC after two years of online gatherings. The conference was a successful exchange of technical information.
The conference was held over 4 days, Nov 5-9, and attended by over 250 delegates. Attendance was not without incidence as Kelowna experienced un-seasonable snow conditions
and West Jet had a major glitch both of which delayed (and in some cases even prevented) delegates’ attendance. But if you were late fear not!

2023 General & Sustaining Members
|
|
Remember if you paid the non-member fee to attend the Conference online you had your membership for the remainder of the 2022 membership year (i.e. to December 31/22).
The General Membership fee for 2023 has been increased to $250. But the Board has elected to provide a significant 25% (i.e. $50) discount for membership dues paid in
full by March 30th. The discount keeps the dues at the 2018 level (the last time a dues increase was applied). Review the membership renewal email for the discount code.
Members needing to pay by cheque are asked to ensure that a copy of the invoice number accompany all payments to ensure payment is applied to the correct member’s account. ALSO – please make sure the Association’s new address in
West Kelowna is used – as will be shown on the invoice or via the website.
A dues reminder and link will be sent Jan 4th. Members whose fees are not paid will get further email reminders. If you have not paid by March 30th your membership will lapse and you will lose access to the member’s area.

Sustaining Membership renewals will be emailed on January 14th to Sustaining Member contacts. We will attempt to contact Sustaining members who have not renewed by mid-February – remember you can add your Assistant
to your profile to assure they also receive all the emails sent to you, including renewal reminders with the direct link which can allow them to pay the dues for you.
Please remember your personal (General) membership is separate from your companies Sustaining Membership.
Sustaining Member logos are available for Sustaining Member Companies to use, if you have not been provided the logo, contact
admin@ctaa.ca – these logos are intended to be used by Sustaining member companies to promote their support of the Association and Industry.
