The Snow and Ice Commodity Group of LO will host contractors and suppliers on Sept. 16, 2008 in Milton for its annual Snow and Ice Symposium.

This full day of learning and networking will feature a program teaching contractors to be more efficient, effective and profitable.  Discussion will focus on awareness of environmental impact, while sessions will include information on Waterloo Region’s Smart About Salt program, managing risks and liabilities and better understanding costs for bidding.

The latest equipment and technologies will be displayed, to help attendees lower costs and improve productivity. Lightweight plows, salt metering systems, vehicle tracking units and liquid applicators are just some of the products that will be shown.
