Management Success

2010 Snow and Ice Symposium: NEW Kitchener location!

The Snow and Ice Sector Group of Landscape Ontario, the Ontario Parks Association and the Municipal Equipment and Operations Association are hosting Partnering for Success, an annual symposium and equipment display program.

Mark your calendars on September 1 and 2 to attend at a new location: Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex in Kitchener, Ontario. In addition to a display of equipment, this year’s seminar program features two different tracks to help you make your operations more efficient and cost effective.

Build-A-Bid Program: September 1, 2010


The Build-a-Bid program was assembled by members of SIMA (the Snow and Ice Management Association) to address one of the greatest business challenges they faced, proper pricing. Their work resulted in this full-day program that will help you put together and sell snow and ice proposals that fit YOUR business model. 

Education Program and Trade Show: September 2, 2010
