Chairman's Welcome
I would like to start by welcoming all of our Interior Logging Association Members, delegates, and friends back for the 66th ILA AGM and Convention! We are so excited to be able to continue to run this amazing event with some great networking opportunities!
This year’s event will once again feature inside and outside displays, located together on the Powwow Grounds. As always, all displays are open to the General Public and NO ALCOHOL will be permitted on grounds. It is important to note that speed zones are in effect on school days.
We will once again be offering many opportunities for networking events and gatherings. This year’s show will include our Meet and Greet, Breakfast, Luncheon, Dinner, and Dance events, the return of our Log Loader Competition, and our 1st Annual Truck Show and Shine!
We are also pleased to welcome back the Interior Safety Conference again this year put on by the BC Forest Safety Council as part of our event. We ask that you please register directly with them, the information is included in the Weekend Agenda panel of this pamphlet.
For all ILA Members, please plan to attend our Annual General Meeting on Friday, May 9th, 2024 from 8:30 am to 10:00 am at the Coast Kamloops Hotel.
On behalf of the Interior Logging Association Board of Directors and our Staff, I would like to thank all of the Co-Sponsors and Suppliers for their continued participation in our event year after year. We are very happy to be celebrating an incredible 66 years!
Last but not least, please know that we appreciate your support and attendance at this year’s event. We look forward to seeing all of you in Kamloops!
Yours Truly,
Tim Menning
