What is the RVDA of Canada?
The RVDA of Canada is a national federation which exists to protect and promote the interests and welfare of RV Dealers across Canada in order to enable the industry to maximize its potential.
The core objective of the RVDA of Canada is to bring together and represent the retail businesses involved in the recreation vehicle industry across Canada, thus providing the support and strength to protect and promote the interests and welfare of Canadian RV Dealers, and to maximize the potential of the industry for all involved. Association activities include:
- Communication and education throughout all levels of the recreation industry. Some examples are: biweekly eBulletin / Stolen RV report, bimonthly national newsletter and annual review; professional, technical and business training; shop and operation manuals; an annual national directory of dealer and associate members; a national industry survey and a high-profile, information-dense website.
- Advocacy with all levels of Government to ensure expert input on policy and legislation design, and to rectify any legal or policy concern of the RV industry.
- Membership in associations that impact, or are of direct involvement in, the RV industry, such as the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC), Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) and the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC).
- Regular contact and joint efforts with other associations and organizations in Canada and the United States that are affiliated with the recreation vehicle industry, such as: Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), RV Aftermarket Association (RVAA), Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and RVDA of America – including a seat on the board of the RV Education Foundation Board.
- Joint efforts to date include conventions, meetings, training opportunities; and the North America-wide "Go RVing" program, featuring advertising, promotional aids, buyer leads, and a second Internet presence.
- Liaising with various peripheral and aftermarket organizations, and developing beneficial endorsement programs, including finance, insurance programs, RV protection and servicing, merchant account discounts, and promotion on the Internet.
