Armour presented with ‘medal of merit’
SAINT JOHN — One of Atlantic Canada’s most respected fleet owners has received the highest honor awarded by the Association of Canadian Port Authorities.
On the final day of the 50th CPA conference, Wes Armour, president and CEO of Armour Transportation Systems, was on hand to accept the award, which recognizes "outstanding works and service, preferably of national impact, by an individual, institution or organization in the port, shipping and maritime transportation fields."
According to the Telegraph Journal, Karen Oldfield, president and CEO of the Halifax Port Authority, described Armour as a "great ambassador for business in Atlantic Canada" who "gives generously of his time, expertise and knowledge to raising the bar when it comes to doing transportation in newer and better ways."
In accepting the award, Armour spoke about the new $15-million warehousing complex the company is building at the port of Halifax.
"As the world becomes smaller, I look forward to the new challenges," he was quoted as saying.
