The Toolbox
Western Retail Lumber Association
WRLA Toolbox: February 20, 2015What's Going On
 "I came out of that course wondering why I hadn’t done this earlier? Wondering why I haven’t been sending my staff to these seminars for years!? As for me, I will be continuing with the RBMSP courses with the intention of completing all of them. In addition, my staff will be rotated through these courses too. With further education we will be making our company more efficient and competitive. We will also be helping make the industry a more educated place too." Winnipeg, MB
