NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ont. — The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) has announced it will host its annual conference at the Queen’s Landing hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake June 18-19.

“Niagara-on-the-Lake, and in particular Queen’s Landing Hotel has become a popular location for our annual conference,” said PMTC president, Bruce Richards. “The entire region has much to offer in the way of history and entertainment and Queen’s Landing is one of the more beautiful area hotels. The hotel and the area combine to offer a number of amenities that add to the value of the conference for attendees and spouses alike.”

Meanwhile, the association is also accepting nominations for its popular awards: The PMTC and 3M Vehicle Graphics Design Awards; the PMTC and Huron Services Group Hall of Fame for Professional Drivers awards; and the PMTC and Zurich Private Fleet Safety Awards.

Companies can nominate individuals or organizations on the PMTC’s Web site. The presentation of the Vehicle Graphics Design awards is an annual highlight of the PMTC’s conference, and the competition is open to private and for-hire fleets. The entry deadline is May 1.

“Vehicle graphics are a visual way to promote products and services and at the same time these trucks promote a very positive image of the trucking community,” said Richards. “Through this competition PMTC and 3M help promote the visual creativity of fleet operators and graphic houses. We are pleased to have 3M’s support for continuing this long-standing awards program, which is open to all Canadian fleets, whether private or for-hire.”
