VANCOUVER, B.C. – Cargo Logistics Canada (CLC) will recognize excellence in freight transportation and 13 other categories at its upcoming exposition and conference in Vancouver.

CLC has launched an Awards of Excellence program intended to become an annual event, and designed to recognize British Columbia’s most exceptional vendors and providers in logistics and distribution.

A special breakfast event will be held Jan. 28 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, where awards will be presented in 14 categories including safety innovation, environmental sustainability, supply chain woman of the year, transportation providers, and distribution suppliers.

“It is important to recognize the accomplishments of local companies that are shaping the future of the supply chain industry,” said David Tyldesley, Informa show director. “Our hope is that the CLC Awards of Excellence, aside from recognizing the impact of thought-leaders in B.C., will also inspire other companies to strive for further excellence in the years to come.”

CLC takes place for its second year at the Vancouver Convention Centre Jan. 28-29. The conference encompasses the entire cargo spectrum to address the needs of freight owners and movers through the two-day conference featuring 150 exhibitors, 100 speakers, and over 30 seminars hosted by top-tier industry leaders. CLC expects more than 2,500 attendees, making it the largest supply chain event in Canada.
