RV Care Celebrates 25th Anniversary at Annual Convention in Quebec City
A Special Report from our friends at RV Care
From November 24–26, 2024, the RV Care Network celebrated its 25th anniversary as
Canada’s largest network of independent RV dealers at its Annual Convention in historic Quebec City. Over 200 attendees gathered at the Congress Centre for a memorable event blending learning, collaboration, and celebration.
For Derek Paterson, CEO of the RV Care Network, the selection of Quebec’s provincial capital was a fitting choice to mark this significant milestone. The Convention featured informative learning sessions showcasing RV Care partners’ latest products and services. Chris Cisalowicz of NTP/Stag remarked, “Thank you to the RV Care team for putting together the best national dealer meeting yet. I think everyone benefited from attending.”
The event included moments of nostalgia and inspiration, highlighted by a panel discussion with current Chairman of the Board and founding member Don Main of Pik-A-Dilly RV Centre in Brandon, MB, and past Chairman and founding member Don Sneyd of Ruston RV Centre in Burlington, ON. Keynote speaker Darrell Keezer delivered an engaging address on how AI can enhance productivity and profitability in the RV industry.
The venue’s 27,000 sq. ft. exhibition space accommodated an indoor showcase of 24 RV Care Approved and Endorsed RV units, alongside 35 supplier partner display booths.
Another major highlight was the presentation of RV Care’s inaugural Dealer of the Year Award to Roland Goreski of Campkin’s RV Centre, recognizing his dealership’s outstanding participation and commitment to RV Care’s programs. Roland is a previous winner of the Ontario RVDA Dealer of the Year Award, and the 2022 Canadian RV Dealer of the Year Award.
With glowing testimonials from attendees and a spirit of camaraderie, the 25th Anniversary Convention was hailed as the best yet, setting a high standard for next year’s event!
