Canadian Auto Recyclers, 2008
Canadian Auto Recyclers, 2007
For much too long the recycling industry has operated in individual silos across the country. After Lecavalier Auto Parts appeared as a cover story in 2009’s Canadian Auto Recyclers it was apparent from the number of congratulatory calls we received that our industry is advancing as a national identity. We are now being given, by other sectors of the auto claims economy and the general driving public, the respect long overdue for the advancements our industry is making.
It was quite an honour to be featured on the second cover of Canadian Auto Recyclers. I didn’t look at it as a personal triumph in any way, but as a triumph for our industry overall. By celebrating the successes of our community we can educate and inform all the partners with whom we work and attract new ones as well. It is good to see our industry receiving external recognition for the accomplishments we have made together and to those we will create in the future.
When Carcone’s was selected to be featured on the inaugural cover of Canadian Auto Recyclers, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. After it was printed and distributed the calls kept coming in: from fellow recyclers, insurers and even from local schools. Nothing had ever been done prior to this of this magnitude to advance the image of our industry. I truly believe all our partners have a better understanding of who we as a group are, and the benefits we bring to the table.
Depuis beaucoup trop longtemps, l’industrie du recyclage automobile a fonctionnÊ sans rÊelle cohÊsion à travers le pays. Après avoir fait la première page de l’Êdition 2009 du Canadian Auto Recyclers, les multiples messages de Pièces automobiles Lecavalier dÊmontrent que notre industrie s’implante en tant qu’identitÊ nationale. Nous bÊnÊficions maintenant du respect longtemps attendu des autres acteurs Êconomiques du secteur de l’automobile et du public en gÊnÊral grâce aux avancements rÊalisÊs.
C’Êtait tout un honneur d’être prÊsentÊ sur la page couverture de la deuxième Êdition de Canadian Auto Recyclers. Je ne le considère pas comme un triomphe personnel, mais un triomphe pour notre industrie dans son ensemble. En cÊlÊbrant le succès de notre collectivitÊ, nous pouvons Êduquer et informer tous les partenaires avec lesquels nous travaillons et en attirer de nouveaux. Nous sommes satisfaits de la reconnaissance manifestÊe envers notre industrie pour les travaux que nous avons accomplis ensemble et, nous l’espÊrons, pour ceux que nous rÊaliserons dans les annÊes à venir.
Lorsque Carcone a ÊtÊ choisi pour figurer sur la couverture inaugurale du Canadian Auto Recyclers je n’Êtais pas tout à fait sÝr à quoi m’attendre. Après l’impression et la distribution de l’article, nous avons reçu plusieurs demandes variÊes de recycleurs, de collègues, d’assureurs et même d’Êcoles locales. Rien n’avait ÊtÊ jamais fait d’une telle ampleur pour promouvoir l’image de notre industrie. Je crois sincèrement que tous nos partenaires ont une meilleure comprÊhension qui nous sommes en tant que groupe et des solutions constructives que nous proposons.

Celebrating Success
Célébrons le succès
Letting the world know about the good work progressive auto recyclers are doing for Canada.
Transmettons au monde les excellents résultats du travail fait par les recycleurs d’automobiles proactifs pour le Canada.
ince the first copy of Canadian Auto Recyclers rolled off the presses four years ago, there’s been a plethora of advancements in the industry. I’m proud to say the staff of CAR has covered them all. Working closely with the recyclers, the associations and Steve Fletcher of the national umbrella organization, Automotive Recyclers of Canada, this issue continues to capture the essence of the progressive recycling movement with in-depth feature stories and profiles of those leading the way. Celebrating successes tightens the bonds within any community and CAR has succeeded admirably. Last year we broke the language barrier by producing a bilingual edition and this year we carry on that tradition, bringing in a truly national flavour. In this issue we bring together the stories of individuals and teams from all levels, reinforcing the alignment of industry goals. Our focus is on achievement and success—a powerful reinforcement, inspiration and motivator. This is an exciting industry, filled with leaders forging ahead to strengthen partnerships with repairers and insurers as well as the driving public. We feel privileged to bring you their stories.
epuis la diffusion du premier exemplaire du Canadian Auto Recycler il y a quatre ans, une pléthore de progrès ont été réalisés dans l’industrie. Je suis fier de dire que le personnel de CAR a tout couvert. Travaillant en étroite collaboration avec les recycleurs, les associations et Steve Fletcher, de l’organisation faîtière nationale, Automotive Recyclers of Canada, cette question continue de capter l’essence du mouvement progressif sur le recyclage dans des reportages en profondeur et les profils de ceux qui ouvrent la voie. Célébrer les réussites resserre les liens au sein de toute communauté et CAR y a réussi admirablement. L’année dernière, nous avons abattu la barrière de la langue en produisant une édition bilingue et cette année, nous nous consacrons à la tradition, apportant une saveur vraiment nationale. Dans ce numéro, nous réunissons les histoires des individus et des équipes de tous niveaux qui convergent vers les mêmes objectifs de l’industrie. Nous mettons l’accent sur l’accomplissement et la réussite, un puissant renfort d’inspiration et de motivation. C’est une industrie dynamique, nourrie de la motivation de ses dirigeants à aller de l’avant pour renforcer les partenariats autant avec les réparateurs, les assureurs que le public. Nous nous sentons privilégiés de vous raconter leur histoire.

ARC Develops Recycler Audit Program The Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) have won a contract with Environment Canada to develop and deliver the auto recycler audit component of the Retire Your Ride program. Retire Your Ride is an initiative of the Government of Canada, the Summerhill Impact and its partners designed to enable people to get their high-polluting cars off the road and reward them for doing so. The program is committed to improving air quality by responsibly recycling vehicles. It aims to retire at least 50,000 vehicles per year until March 31, 2011. As part of the program, ARC was commissioned by Environment Canada to develop a code of practice that all recyclers must adhere
to in order to participate in Retire Your Ride. ARC won a second contract to implement a national training program for auto recyclers to understand the code.This training has been deployed in-person and will soon be available online. The day-long training provides participants with the legal framework for auto recycling in Canada, walks them through the code step-by-step, and provides a series of real-world examples to see the code in action. The audit contract will see ARC hiring and training a series of auditors across Canada, and then coordinating inspections and audits for all Retire Your Ride participants. “This is a massive undertaking that ARC is
particularly well positioned to handle,� said Steve Fletcher, managing director of ARC. “What really excites ARC and its members is Environment Canada’s desire to create legacy resources from this program—educational information, training capacity, auditors and ultimately a network of trained and audited auto recycling facilities. With industry directly involved, the process is actually helpful and relevant for industry.� “I’ve been through the in-person training earlier in the year,� said Don Fraser, owner of AADCO Auto Parts in Brampton, Ontario. “There is always something to learn, and I took a number of things back to AADCO to improve my operation.�
par an d’ici le 31 mars, 2011. Dans le cadre du programme, Environnement Canada a demandĂŠ au RAC d’Êlaborer un code de bonne pratique que les recycleurs doivent respecter afin de participer au programme ‘Adieu Bazou’. Environnement Canada a accordĂŠ un deuxième contrat Ă la RAC pour la mise en Ĺ“uvre d’un programme national de formation en vue de l’application effective par les recycleurs du code de bonne pratique prĂŠcitĂŠ. Ce programme s’adresse aux individus eux-mĂŞmes et sera bientĂ´t disponible en ligne. Il propose aux participants le cadre juridique de recyclage

ARA Advocates Using Non-Deployed Recycled Airbags In support of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators’ (NCOIL) five-day meeting on airbag fraud reduction legislation, the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) has outlined its concerns for under serviced and missing airbags in American cars. NCOIL’s Property-Casualty Insurance Committee finalized its adoption of the legislation on November 21 with overwhelming support from executive committee members. During the conference, ARA executive vice-president Michael E. Wilson referred to crash statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, stating that 18 per cent of the cars involved in fatal accidents from 2001 to 2006 were missing replacement airbags from previous accidents. The ARA has recommended recycled, and non-deployed, OEM airbags as equally valid replacements. “The use of these evaluated components is a cost-effective option for a consumer,” Wilson said in a press release. “But, more importantly, extensive research and years of experience have proven them as a safe alternative as well.” According to the ARA, non-deployed OEM airbags are on par with the original industry standard and are a smart repair solution for after-accident vehicles. The installation of recycled airbags can be 60 per cent cheaper than a new one from franchised dealers. Auto manufacturers, however, insist on OEM airbags as the only proper replacements. Based on NHTSA’s own data, the added costs of replacing airbags continue to deter car owners from including the process in total car restoration. “The use of these … components help address the significant problem of airbag omission—where deployed airbags are not replaced—that the NHTSA study clearly points out exists,” Wilson said. Since 2006, the ARA has established a national practice standard for the process of extracting, handling, inspecting and storing non-deployed recycled OEM airbags from salvaged vehicles. The association remains to be the front running international trade association of professional automotive recyclers that advocate the use of recycled OEM airbags.
L’ARA a recommandé que des coussins recyclés de constructeurs OEM et non déployés soient utilisé à titre de remplacements valables. « L’utilisation de ces équipements dûment évalués fournit au consommateur une alternative à rapport coût-efficacité avantageux » a déclaré M. Wilson dans un communiqué de presse. « Mais, plus important encore, des recherches approfondies et des années d’expérience ont démontré que cette alternative est tout à fait sécuritaire ». Selon l’ARA, les coussins non déployés de constructeurs OEM sont identiques aux coussins d’origine et offrent une solution fort appropriée aux véhicules accidentés. Le montage des coussins recyclés peut se faire à 60 pour cent du coût de l’installation de coussins d’origine par les concessionnaires franchisés. Les fabricants d’automobiles, toutefois, insistent que seuls les coussins de constructeur OEM sont valables. Selon les données de la NHTSA, les propriétaires de véhicules hésitent fortement à équiper correctement leur véhicule en raison de ce coût.

ARA préconise l’utilisation des airbags non déployée et recyclés À l’appui de la Conférence nationale des législateurs d’asssurance (CNLA) qui a tenu une réunion de cinq jours sur un projt de loi visant à réduire la fraude sur les coussins précité, l’Association des recycleurs d’automobiles (ARA) a exprimé ses inquiétudes sur la sous utilisation et l’absence même de ces coussins dans les voitures américaines. Le Property-Casualty Insurance du CNLA a adopté à l’unanimité des membres du comité exécutif l’adoption de la législation, le novembre 21. Au cours de la conférence, le vice-président exécutif d’ARA, Michael E. Wilson, a cité des statistiques sur les accidents de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration selon lesquelles 18 % des automobiles impliqués dans des accidents mortels de 2001 à 2006 n’étaient pas équipées de coussins de sécurité gonflables, cousins qui n’avaient pas été remplacés à la suite d’accidents antérieurs.

Dès sa première saison, le programme Adieu bazou est un succès. By/PAR Janet taylor
t’s been an exciting year full of progress and positive environmental impact for the Retire Your Ride program, Canada’s national vehicle recycling program. This time last year, Canadian Auto Recyclers published “Inside National Scrap,” which discussed the potential of the newly proposed national scrappage program. Since its publication, the program has achieved enormous progress after just eight months. Surpassing the year-one collection targets has been the most impressive and obvious accomplishment of Retire Your Ride. Environment Canada and Summerhill Impact anticipated the program would collect 50,000 vehicles in the first year—a target that has been surpassed four months ahead of schedule. It is important to understand that each of these cars represents a Canadian who has been willing to help improve air quality and reduce emissions through their participation. Having six auto manufactures provide top-up incentives have also been a big help. The Retire Your Ride program has a detailed national code of practice for participating auto recyclers prepared for Environment Canada by the Auto Recyclers of Canada. See Colin McKean’s article on page 16 for more information on the legacy the code can have on the industry. If the last eight months has proven anything, it is that we can have a positive impact on the environment and create a lasting legacy in a short period of time.

e fut une année passionnante pleine de progrès et d’impact positif sur l’environnement pour le programme national de recyclage des véhicules Adieu bazou. À la même époque, l’année dernière, le Canadian Auto Recyclers a publié « Inside National Scrap » qui a examiné le potentiel du nouveau programme nouvellement proposé de mise à la ferraille de véhicules. Depuis sa publication,le programme a fait d’énormes progrès après seulement huit mois. Le fait de dépasser l’objectif de récupération fixé à un an, a été certes, le plus impressionnant résultat d’Adieu bazou. Environnement Canada et Summerhill Impact avaient anticipé que le programme récupèrerait 50 000 véhicules au cours de la première année, une prévision qui a été dépassée quatre mois plus tôt que la date prévue. Il est important de comprendre que chacune de ces voitures représente un Canadien qui, grâce à sa participation au programme, a choisi d’aider à améliorer la qualité de l’air et de réduire les émissions. Le fait que six constructeurs d’automobiles aient également mis en place des mesures incitatives complémentaires a beaucoup aidé. Le programme Adieu bazou comporte un code de pratique national détaillé pour les recycleurs désireux d’y participer, préparé par les recycleurs d’automobiles du Canada pour Environnement Canada. Voir l’article de Colin McKean à la page 16 pour mieux saisir l’effet significatif que ce code peut avoir sur l’industrie. L’expérience des huit derniers mois nous a démontré que nous sommes capables d’avoir un impact positif sur l’environnement et de créer un legs durable, en relativement peu de temps.et de créer un legs durable, et ce en relativement peu de temps.

utomotive dismantlers and recyclers across Canada provide a variety of environmental, economic and social benefits to a modern-day society. Significant reductions in greenhouse gases and energy use result from the reuse of quality used parts and the eventual recycling of important metals. Unfortunately, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) have a number of potentially hazardous materials, and automotive recyclers are required to ensure that the materials are stored, transported and disposed of in an appropriate manner. The Environmental Code of Practice developed for the Retire Your Ride/Adieu bazou program represents a comprehensive, plain-language environmental program for the hazardous materials in ELVs. The code provides a straight-forward link between the federal and provincial laws with the activities undertaken by the automotive dismantling and recycling industry.

Malheureusement, les véhicules en fi nde vie utile (VHU) comportent certaines matières potentiellement dangereuses et es recycleurs d’automobiles sont tenus de s’assurer que ces matières soient entreposées, transportées et éliminées correctement. Le Code de pratiques environnementales élaboré pour le programme Adieu bazou représente un programme détaillé sur l’environnement, en langage clair concernant le traitement des matières dangereuses des VHU.

Another Great Year for ARC
Une autre excellente année pour les RAC
We continue to grow and mature as an organization:
RAC continue de progresser et de croître en tant qu’organisation:
►► ARC won the 2008/2009 Affiliate Chapter of the Year award from the Automotive Recyclers Association. ►► ARC signed an agreement with the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association to adopt the Green Parts marketing program on a national basis. ►► Retire Your Ride, the national vehicle recycling program, exploded on to the scene and surpassed all expectations by the government, industry and participating Canadians. ARC wrote the code of practice for auto recyclers to participate; implemented a recycler engagement strategy to obtain buy-in for industry; developed and deployed training for the code in 15 cities for over 200 participants; converted the in-person training to an online version for the entire industry to learn about the code; won the contract to hire and train auditors for the code and coordinate at least 300 audits and inspections over the next two years; and overall, ARC acts as a consultant to Environment Canada, Summerhill Impact and its partners to ensure Retire Your Ride meets and exceeds its objectives. ►► ARC participated in four advisory committee meetings for the national Switch Out Program to recover convenience lighting switches from end-oflife vehicles. These meetings, hosted by Summerhill Impact, bring ARC together with the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturer’s Association, the Canadian Steel Producers Association and the Canadian Association of Recycling Industries. ARC members are consistently the top producers when it comes to removing mercury in this voluntary program—routinely accounting for over 80 per cent of the switches even though we process less than 40 per cent of the vehicles in Canada. ►► ARC hosted its first national meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia in conjunction with the Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada. ►► ARC continued to develop its manufacturer vehicle recovery programs, recently adding Kia Canada. It already operates with Toyota Canada. Two vehicle manufacturers have now signed contracts with ARC to manage vehicle recovery programs for them on a national basis, with ARC members guaranteeing proper vehicle disposal and permanently retiring the vehicle and the VIN.
►► RAC a remporté le prix de « La section affiliée de l’année 2008/ 2009 » décerné par l’Association des recycleurs d’automobiles. ►► RAC a signé une entente avec l’Association des recycleurs d’automobiles de l’Ontario afin d’ adopter le programme de marketing « Pièces Vertes » à l’échelle nationale. ►► Adieu bazou , le programme national de recyclage de véhicules a fait fureur et a dépassé toutes les attentes du Gouvernement, de l’industrie et des Canadiens qui y ont participé. RAC a rédigé le Code de pratique pour faire participer les recycleurs d’automobiles, a mis sur pied une stratégie qui permet d’obtenir des rachats pour l’industrie, a développé et misen place une formation sur le code dans 15 villes pour plus de 200 participants; a converti la formation en une version en ligne afin que toute l’industrie connaisse le code; a obtenu le contrat pour embaucher et former des vérifi cateurs pour le code, et doit assurer la coordination d’au moins 300 vérifications et inspections au cours des deux prochaines années. De manière générale, RAC agit à titre de consultant pour Environnement Canada, Summerhill Impact et ses partenaires afin d’assurer que le programme Adieu bazou atteigne et dépasse ses objectifs. ►► RAC a participé à quatre réunions du Comité consultatif du programme national ÉlimiMercure pour récupérer des interrupteurs provenant des véhicules hors d’usage. Ces réunions, organisées par Summerhill Impact, rassemblent RAC, l’Association canadienne des constructeurs de véhicules (ACCV), l’Association canadienne des producteurs d’acier (ACPA) et l’Association canadienne des industries du recyclage (ACIR). Les membres de RAC sont toujours parmi les meilleurs éliminateurs de mercure au sein de ce programme volontaire – ils récupèrent régulièrement plus de 80 % des interrupteurs, bien que 40% des véhicules ne soient pas traités au Canada . ►► RAC a tenu sa première réunion nationale à Halifax, en Nouvelle-Écosse, en collaboration avec l’Association des recycleurs d’automobiles du Canada atlantique. ►► RAC continue de développer ses programmes derécupération de véhicules avec l’ajout de Kia Canada. Il travaille déjà avec Toyota Canada. Deux constructeurs automobiles ont maintenant conclu un contrat avec RAC pour gérer leur programme de récupération de véhicules à l’échelle nationale, alors que les membres de RAC garantissent l’élimination convenable des véhicules et le retrait permanent du vehicule et du VIN.

nce again,ARC supported Canadian Auto Recyclers magazine, providing editorial input and guidance, advertising recruitment and our directory of members. This publication continues to be our best resources for displaying and explaining our industry to a growing international readership. Next year is expected to be an even bigger year for the association. Retire Your Ride and Switch Out will continue to grow, taking the auto recycling industry to heights unknown. The awareness that these programs create among governments, the media, the automotive industry and the driving public is astounding. I have been invited to Basel, Switzerland in March to provide an overview of the Canadian auto recycling sector at the International Auto Recycling Congress. This is the start of ARC’s outreach to other countries to demonstrate the progress we have made here, and to provide markets for ARC members to sell to. In September 2010, ARC will host the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT) in Québec City. We are expecting approximately 200 delegates representing 15 countries. The IRT runs every 18–24 months in conjunction with the Automotive Recyclers Association, the European Group of Auto Recycling Associations, the Japanese Auto Recyclers Association, the Malaysian Auto Recyclers Association and the Auto Parts Recyclers Association of Australia. The event will feature facility tours, presentations, roundtable discussions and will highlight the Canadian auto recycling scene on a global scale.
AC a de nouveau soutenu la revue Canadian Auto Recycler, en y apportant une contribution éditoriale, des conseils pratiques, des annonces publicitaires ainsi que le répertoire de ses membres. Cette publication continue d’être une des meilleures façons de faire valoir et de présenter notre industrie à un lectorat international croissant. Cette année devrait être encore plus prometteuse pour RAC. Adieu bazou et ÉlimiMercure vont continuer à prendre de l’ampleur, et à mener l’industrie du recyclage automobile vers de nouveaux sommets. La notoriété que ces programmes créent auprès des gouvernements, des médias, de l’industrie automobile et des automobilistes, est époustouflante. J’ai été invité à Bâle, en Suisse, au mois de mars pour donner un aperçu du secteur canadien de recyclage automobile dans le cadre du Congrès international du recyclage automobile. C’est le début des activités de sensibilisation vers d’autre pays que RAC entend entreprendre pour démontrer les progrès que nous avons faits ici et ainsi, ouvrir de nouveaux marchés pour les membres de RAC. En septembre 2010, RAC sera l’hôte de la Table ronde internationale sur le recyclage d’automobile (TRIR) à Québec. Nous y attendons environ 200 délégués représentant 15 pays. Le TRIR a lieu tous les 18 à 24 mois conjointement avec l’Association des recycleurs d’automobiles, le Groupe européen des associations de recycleurs d’automobiles, l’Association japonaise des recycleurs d’automobiles, l’Association malaisienne des recycleurs d’automobiles, et l’Association australienne du recyclage des pièces d’automobiles. Cet événement va inclure des visites d’installations, des présentations, des tables rondes de discussions, et va mettre l’accent sur l’industrie canadienne de recyclage automobile à l’échelle mondiale.

From coast to coast, it’s been a busy year for professional automotive recycling organizations.
Les associations provinciales
D’un océan à l’autre, ce fut une année bien remplie pour les associations de recycleurs. Alberta (AARDA) aarda.com
The Retire Your Ride program has been very successful in our province, with 2036 cars recycled since its start up. Salvage prices have gone up with the recyclers seeing increased competition at the auctions. The retail end of our business has increased as more people are trying to save money during difficult times and as OEM prices have climbed. Le programme Adieu bazou a eu beaucoup de succès dans notre province et a déjà permis le recyclage de 2 036 voitures. Les prix de récupération des véhicules ont augmenté en raison de la concurrence accrue aux enchères. Les ventes au détail de notre industrie ont augmenté car de plus en plus de personnes cherchent à épargner par les temps difficiles qui courent et que les prix des pièces OEM ont ont monté.
Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) araac.ca
ARAAC has had a very busy year. We held two very successful meetings—one in June with ARC and one in November with the National Code of Practice training. Both were well attended and the information sharing was the best in years. We were fortunate to add three new direct members and seven new associate members, bringing our ranks to 34. L’ARAAC a eu une année très occupée.Nous avons tenu deux réunions très fructueuses— l’une en juin avec RAC et l’autre en novembre avec les participants au Code de pratique national en matière de formation. Très courues, l’information y était extraordinaire. Nous avons également recruté trois nouveaux membres completst et sept membres associés, ce qui porte nos effectifs à 34 personnes.
British Columbia (B-CAR) ara.bc.ca
B-CAR has been helping to benefit it’s members for over 20 years. As a division of the Automotive Retailers Association of BC, it works side by side with six other fellow industries. B-CAR developed the automotive recycling standard for environmental protection back in 1995, and
today its board of directors are as active and progressive as ever. B-CAR, quant à elle, continue depuis maintenant plus de 20 ans à aider ses membres à bénéficier de ses activités. À titre de division de l’Automotive Retailers Association of British Columbia, B-CAR travaille de pair avec six autres industries semblables. C’est en 1995, que cette dernière a élaboré les normes de recyclage des automobiles pour la protection de l’environnement, et aujourd’hui, son conseil d’administration est tout aussi actif et progressiste que jamais.
Manitoba (ARM) arm.mb.ca
ARM has been working closely with MPI (Manitoba Public Insurance) to develop a modern claims response system that will enable the recyclers to apply parts to claims from MPI quickly and efficiently. The RCO (Recyclers Central Office) will be better able to service the repair facilities, thus reducing the cost per claim and saving the motorist money. ARM a collaboré étroitement avec l’APM (Assurance publique du Manitoba) pour développer un système moderne de traitement des réclamations qui permettra aux recycleurs d’inclure les pièces dans leurs réclamations, auprès de l’APM, de manière rapide et efficace. Le RCO (Recyclers Central Office) pourra ainsi mieux servir les installations de réparation, réduisant le coût par réclamation et permettant faisant faire des économies aux automobilistes.
Ontario (OARA) oara.com
OARA spent time, effort and dollars to explain and represent our industry. Members held numerous meetings, open houses, cheque events across the province. Through programs like Retire Your Ride, Switch Out, Car Heaven and Green Parts marketing, our profile has never been higher. That translates into buying more cars, selling more parts and helping the government introduce smart programs that are good for auto recyclers. L’OARA a fait a fait beaucoup d’efforts pour représenter notre industrie. Les membres ont tenu de nombreuses réunions, desportes

Ceci veut dire plus d’achat de voitures, plus de pièces vendues et aider le gouvernement a introduire de meilleurs programmes au profit des recycleurs.
Quebec (ARPAC) arpac.org
In 2009, ARPAC has been really focused on supporting the community. We have been making donations to families in need to improve their quality of life, and granting scholarships. ARPAC has officially launched Pieces Vertes.mc It is now a registered trademark. Our goal is to involve and educate the public on the importance of using recycled parts for vehicle repairs. En 2009, l’ARPAC s’est concentrée à soutenir la communautés. Nous avons fait des dons aux familles nécessiteuses afin d’améliorer leur qualité de vie, nous avons aussi octroyé des bourses d’études. L’ARPAC a officiellement inauguré Pièces Vertes.inc qui est maintenant une marque déposée. Notre objectif est d’impliquer le grand public et de leur démontrer l’importance d’utiliser des pièces recyclées pour leurs réparations de véhicules.
Saskatchewan (SGI Salvage) sgi.sk.ca
SGI has spent much of 2009 working to complete SGI Salvage’s conversion to a CheckMate yard management system. For SGI, this meant reviewing, updating, streamlining processes and reporting to reflect their new system. Many changes were made throughout the year. Working with a dedicated and enthusiastic business partner like Car-Part.com has been a pleasure. SGI a passé une bonne partie de l’année 2009 à compléter la conversion du son système de récupération à celui de gestion de cour CheckMate. Cette conversion a nécessité la révision, la mise à jour et la simplification de leurs procédures et la communication des composantes du nouveau système. Plusieurs modifications ont été apportées tout au long de l’année et travailler avec un partenaire professionnel dédié et enthousiaste tel que Car-Part.com fut un réel plaisir.

Aid to Families
Aide aux familles
The ARPAC Foundation wants to provide support by making concrete gestures in the community. • In 2008–2009, the foundation supported a family in the Abitibi region in the construction of a customized patio. This addition allows their son, who suffers from a degenerative disease, to enjoy day-to-day activities with his family. • The Foundation also supported a cancer patient during her chemotherapy treatment. • With the Foundation’s help, a young boy with severe diabetes was able to get an insulin pump, which gives him greater autonomy. • A girl suffering from paralysis due to a post-operative accident now has an elevating platform to help her get around the house.
Aid to the Community
• In order to enhance the quality of life among families, and to improve the children’s chance for development, the ARPAC Foundation donated $25,000 for the construction of a special lounge for parents at the Sainte-Justine Hospital. This lounge is intended for parents whose premature babies receive specialized care in the hospital’s neonatology unit. • In the Val-d’Or region, two classes of children with physical and intellectual disabilities received financial aid from the ARPAC Foundation. This donation was made for the purchase of special physical education equipment needed by the families.
Scholarships
• At the end of the 32nd Job and Training Fair on March 18, 2009, the ARPAC Foundation held a draw for three scholarships totalling $2,000 to assist students in all disciplines. 22
La Fondation de l'ARPAC est désireuse d'exprimer son soutien par des gestes concrets dans la communauté. •• Dans le cours de l'année 2008-2009, la Fondation a soutenu une famille de la région de l'Abitibi dans la construction d'un patio adapté. Grâce à cet aménagement, leur fils souffrant d'une maladie dégénérative peut maintenant profiter des activités de la vie quotidienne avec les siens. •• La Fondation a également prêté son soutien à une patiente atteinte de cancer durant ses traitements de chimiothérapie. •• Un jeune garçon souffrant de diabète sévère a pu se procurer, grâce à la Fondation, une pompe à insuline qui lui permettra une plus grande autonomie. •• Une jeune fille atteinte de paralysie consécutive à un accident postopératoire, a maintenant une plate-forme élévatrice pour lui faciliter.
Aide à la communauté
•• Afin d’offrir une meilleure qualité de vie aux familles et, par le fait même, une meilleure chance de développement aux enfants, un don de 25 000 $ de la Fondation ARPAC a été versé pour l’aménagement d’un salon des parents. Ce salon permettra à de nombreux parents, dont les bébés prématurés reçoivent des soins spécialisés à l’unité de néonatalogie du CHU Sainte-Justine, de bénéficier d’un endroit bien à eux et adapté à leurs besoins. •• Dans la région de Val-d’Or, deux classes d’enfants ayant des handicaps physiques et intellectuels bénéficieront d’une aide financière de la Fondation ARPAC pour l’achat de matériel d’éducation physique adapté.
Bourses d’études
•• Au terme de la 32e édition du Salon Emploi formation, la Fondation ARPAC procédait, le 18 mars 2009, au tirage de 3 bourses d’études totalisant 2 000 $ pour venir en aide aux étudiants de toutes disciplines.

he Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) will be hosting the next International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT) in Quebec City September 19–21, 2010. Held roughly every 18 months, the IRT brings auto recyclers from around the world to share successes and best practices, and to exchange information in this increasingly global industry. Previous IRTs have been held in Australia (2008), Japan (2007), USA (2005) and Belgium (2004). As the host for the 2010 event, ARC will be showcasing the Canadian industry, but also ensuring that all countries have their say. “We are opening our doors to the world of automotive recycling,” said ARC chairman Ed MacDonald. “Not only will we be hosting a premiere event in historic Quebec, we will also feature the wonderful strides automotive recycling has taken worldwide over the last number of years in preserving our natural resources and developing the very necessary best management practices.” The three-day event will follow the provincial ARPAC meeting. International delegates will be encouraged to participate in both events. “The ARPAC event provides an in-depth view of what is happening within the auto recycling industry of one of our ARC member associations at the ground level,” said Steve Fletcher, ARC managing director, who is heading the organizing committee. “But the IRT will be elevated to national and international issues. We are using the historic nature of Quebec City as a draw for our international delegates. Quebec will be a unique cultural and linguistic experience for most of our delegates, but that will be part of its charm.” The IRT will feature facility tours at Dumont Pièces d’Autos in St-Gilles, QC and LKQ Pintendre Autos in Pintendre, QC, plus other facilities in

L
es Recycleurs d’Automobiles du Canada (RAC) seront l’hôte de la prochaine Table ronde internationale sur le recyclage de véhicules d’automobiles (TRI) à Québec, du 19-21 septembre 2010. La TRI, qui a lieu à peu près tous les 18 mois, rassemble les recycleurs d’automobiles du monde entier en vue de partager des données sur leurs réussites et leurs pratiques exemplaires, et d’échanger des informations sur une industrie de plus en plus mondialisée. Les TRI précédentes ont eu lieu en Australie (2008), au Japon (2007), aux États-Unis (2005) et en Belgique (2004). À titre d’hôte de l’événement en 2010, RAC se fera le promoteur de l’industrie canadienne, mais s’assurera également que tous les participants puissent faire valoir leur point de vue. « Nous ouvrons toutes grandes nos portesau reste du monde, a déclaré Ed MacDonald, président de RAC. Non seulement serons-nous l’hôte d’un événement important dans la ville historique de Québec, mais nous présenterons les progrès remarquables accomplis par l’industrie du recyclage d’automobiles, à l’échelle mondiale, durant ces dernières années, quant à la préservation de nos ressources naturelles, et à l’élaboration de pratiques de gestion exemplaires et nécessaires ». L’événement de trois jours aura lieu à la suite de la réunion provinciale de l’ARPAC. Les délégués internationaux pourront participer aux deux événements. « La réunion de l’ARPAC portera sur une vue approfondie de la situation de l’industrie telle que vécue au quotidien, par une association membre de RAC », dit Steve Fletcher, directeur général du RAC, qui dirige le comité organisateur. « Mais le TRI examinera les questions nationales et internationales. Nous utilisons les caractéristiques historiques, culturelles et linguistiques de Québec et de son charme pour attirer les délégués internationaux. » La TRI offrira des visites, entre autre, chez Pièces d’autos Dumont, à Saint-Gilles, et LKQ Pintendre autos, à Pintendre.

the region. “We’ve tagged the event as ‘the world of auto recycling, by auto recyclers, for auto recyclers’ so people understand that they will be seeing real auto recycling in action,” Fletcher said. “This isn’t a theoretical event about what could happen with our industry, but what is happening in our industry right now. By showing what happens in Canada, and seeing how the Japanese or Europeans handle the same issue—that’s where real learning happens. “North Americans are ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to selling green recycled auto parts, but the Europeans and Japanese process cars more efficiently. There really is something to learn from everyone.” In addition to tours, the IRT will feature country reports, guest speakers, spousal programs, tours of historic Old Quebec, presentations and roundtable discussions among the country associations. Five national associations have been the backbone of previous IRTs—ARA in the USA, ARC in Canada, JARA in Japan, EGARA in Europe and APRAA in Australia. The IRT is pleased to welcome MARA from Malaysia as one of the organizing associations and is working with the Chinese and Korean associations to formally join the roundtable. For more information on the IRT visit IRT-autorecycling.org or TRI-recylageautomobile.org.
« L’évènement se nomme « le monde du recyclage d’automobiles, par les recycleurs d’automobiles, pour les recycleurs d’automobiles », afin que les participants réalisent qu’ils seront dans le feu de l’action », dit Fletcher. Nous ne voulons pas spéculer sur ce qui pourrait se passer dans notre industrie, mais parler de ce qui s’y passe maintenant. C’est en présentant ce qui se passe au Canada et en partageant les expériences de nos collègues japonais ou européens, dans des cas semblables que l’apprentissage se fait. « l’Amérique du Nord est en première place dans la vente de pièces automobiles recyclées « vertes », mais les Européens et les Japonais traitent plus efficacement les véhicules. Nous pouvons apprendre de tous ». En plus des visites, la TRI présentera des rapports nationaux, des présentateurs hôtes et offrira aux conjoint(e) s, des visites du Vieux Québec,et des exposés et des discussions entre les associations nationales. Cinq associations nationales ont été le fer de lance des TRI précédentes : ARA aux États-Unis, RAC au Canada, JARA au Japon, EGARA en Europe et APRAA en Australie. Les organisateurs de la TRI sont heureux d’accueillir MARA de Malaisie parmi les associations organisatrices, et travaillent avec les associations chinoises et coréennes pour qu’elles se joignent formellement à la table ronde. Pour de plus amples informations sur la TRI, veuillez consulter IRTautorecyling.org ou tri-recylageautomobile.org.

ave the planet. Go green. Help the environment. Reduce your carbon footprint. These phrases are all around us as the world becomes more environmentally conscious and yet the auto recycling industry is constantly overlooked in this time of reducing and reusing. We must do our best to remove those old images of junkyards and scrap heaps from the general public’s collective mind so that they can see the modern automobile recycling facility for what it really is: a clean, well-run, wellorganized, technologically advanced business—an essential part of the automotive industry and, most importantly, a saviour to the environment. Although the global image of recycling in general seems to be on the upswing, as a society we are now nearly at our historical worst for conserving resources. Archeological studies of ancient human refuse dumping show that our ancestors threw away very little. In times when natural resources and materials were not so easily attained, people conserved and reused as much as possible. Even after the onslaught of the industrial revolution, rag pickers collected old clothes and other textiles to sell back to

auvez la planète, prenez le virage écologique, aidez l’environnement, réduisez votre empreinte de carbone, ces déclarations sont de plus en plus entendues alors que le monde devient plus conscient de l’environnement, mais pourtant l’industrie du recyclage d’automobiles est constamment négligée malgré l’attention donnée à la réduction de la consommation et à la réutilisation de produits. Le grand public ne doit plus percevoir notre industrie comme des parcs à ferrailles et des entrepôts de déchets, mais comme une entreprise moderne aux installations propres, bien gérée et en tête de la technologie, une composante essentielle de l’industrie automobile et, surtout, de la sauvegarde de l’environnement. Bien que l’image globale du recyclage semble en général être à la hausse, notre société a historiquement atteint son apogée, en termes de gaspillage de ressources. Des études archéologiques portant sur les anciens sites de déchets, nous montrent que nos ancêtres jetaient très peu de produits. À l’époque, les ressources naturelles et les produits n’étant pas si facilement accessibles, ils conservaient et réutilisaient le plus possible. Même dans la foulée effrénée de la révolution industrielle, les chiffonniers ramassaient vieux vêtements et textiles qu’ils revendaient à des entreprises qui les transformaient en laine.

manufacturers to be remade into certain types of wool. Meanwhile, dustmen collected chimney soot and ash to be reused as base materials in the brick making industry. Yet with the advent of inexpensive plastics and cheap overseas labour we have truly become a throwaway society. Think of the cardboard and blister packaging required (according to manufacturers) to securely store products and make them appear more appealing as they wait on shelves for the groping hands of hungry consumers. Our landfills are brimming packaging materials and barely used products. And it seems that we as a whole are no different with our automobiles or the parts with which we choose to repair them. Most new parts, if they are original equipment or aftermarket, come in one form of excessive packaging or another. We love our cars and the auto manufacturers know it. Their mandate seems to be to put the world’s population in brand new vehicles as often as possible. But what of the older cars and trucks that still abound? Many are useable, some need only minor repairs to continue providing transportation for years to come, while others may be beyond usefulness as a whole but can look forward to a secondary life at a certified auto recycler, providing valuable parts at huge savings to wanting vehicles. Yet some programs would see these units go straight to shredders for steel recycling. Steel recycling does its part to help keep the planet clean, but the direct shredding of vehicles only sees the recycling of steel and other metals, while all plastics, fabrics, foams and glass, which are often polluted with hazardous waste, end up in landfills. There are far better uses for these wayward cars and trucks before they are melted down and turned into beer cans, refrigerators and, yes, new automobile parts. Direct recycling can and must be utilized. Remember, there is a plethora of tested and/or inspected fenders, doors, hoods, trunk lids, windows, headlights, tail lights, engines, transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, suspension and steering components, alternators, starters, dashboards, seats, interior and exterior trim, radios, wheels, tires, batteries, etc. out there at your local auto recycling depot right now. They’re in great condition, already manufactured for their intended purposes and ready to be installed in other vehicles so that their lives may be extended. This is recycling in its true sense—the reuse of a product for its original purpose without melting it down and/or changing it in any way, shape or form. And let’s not forget to continue to drive home the fact that there are thousands of dollars in available savings for consumers who reuse auto parts. However, as mentioned earlier, we live in quite a disposable world and the general trend of society still seems to lean toward most products being purchased new. Humanity needs to collectively look at the auto recycler as the first and best solution for
recueillaient la suie et les cendres qui étaient réutilisées comme matériaux de base dans les briqueteries. Pourtant, avec l’avènement de plastiques peu coûteux et d’une main d’oeuvre bon marché d’outremer, nous sommes réellement devenus une société du « jetable. » Ne pensez, par exemple, qu’aux cartons et emballages coque requis (d’après les producteurs) pour mieux protéger les produits et les rendre plus attrayants aux mains dévoreuses d’insatiables consommateurs. Nos sites d’enfouissement en débordent et de produits à peine utilisés. Et nous avons la même attitude concernant nos automobiles et les pièces que nous choisissons pour les réparer. La plupart de ces pièces, soit d’origine ou du marché de rechange, arrivent malheureusement dans des emballages excessifs. Nous adorons nos voitures et les constructeurs d’automobiles le savent très bien. Leur mandat semble être de mettre la population mondiale dans des véhicules neufs, aussi souvent que possible. Mais que dire des véhicules et des camions plus âgés qui sont encore là? La plupart est utilisable et des réparations mineures leur permettraient circuler pendant encore plusieurs années. D’autres véhicules ne sont peut-être plus viables comme transport, mais peuvent jouir d’une seconde vie chez un recycleur agréé et procurer des pièces très économiques, à des véhicules en besoin. Par contre, quelques fois, ces véhicules sont directement envoyés chez des déchiqueteurs en vue du recyclage de l’acier. Celui-ci contribue à la propreté de notre planète, mais le déchiquetage de ces véhicules ne recycle que l’acier et d’autres métaux, alors que tous les plastiques, les tissus, les mousses et le verre, qui sont souvent pollués de produits dangereux, se retrouvent dans des sites d’enfouissement. Il y a beaucoup mieux à faire avec ces automobiles et camions inutilisables avant de les faire fondre et de les transformer en cannettes de bière, en réfrigérateurs, et oui, en nouvelles pièces d’automobiles. Le recyclage direct peut et doit être utilisé. N’oubliez pas qu’il existe une pléthore de pièces qui ont été vérifiées ou inspectées par votre recycleur local et qui sont immédiatement mises à votre disposition, telles que : ailes d’automobile, portes, capots, couvercles de coffre, fenêtres, phares, feux de position, moteurs, transmissions, boîtes de transfert, différentiels, suspension et composantes de direction, alternateurs, démarreurs, tableaux de bord, sièges, garnitures intérieures et extérieures, radios, roues, batteries, etc. Ces pièces sont en très bonne condition, déjà construites pour l’usage que vous voulez en faire et prêtes à être installées, de façon à ce que la vie d’autres véhicules soit prolongée. Voilà le vrai sens du mot recyclage, soit la réutilisation d’un produit tel que conçu à son origine, sans le fondre ou le modifier de quelque façon que ce soit. Et n’oublions pas de continuer à démontrer aux consommateurs qu’ils peuvent économiser des milliers de dollars en réutilisant des pièces automobiles. Mais, comme mentionné auparavant, nous vivons dans une société du « jetable » et la tendance générale semble toujours favoriser l’achat de produits neufs. L’humanité aurait intérêt à considérer les recycleurs d’automobiles comme la première et la meilleure solution pour toute réparation de véhicules. Les recycleurs d’automobiles disposent de la majorité des pièces requises pour réparer immédiatement

any vehicle repair. Automotive recyclers have most parts to repair most vehicles right now, be it a mechanical breakdown or collision repair. Insist on recycled parts for your next automotive repair! Another extremely important area auto recyclers help to preserve and clean up the environment is the processing of these end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in a safe and Earth-friendly manner. Today, nearly all automobile recyclers adhere to at least some form of environmental management plan and their workers are trained professionals who remove and dispose of hazardous fluids and dangerous waste materials properly, in the safest manner possible. Oils, including engine, transmission, differential, steering and brake fluids along with both engine and windshield-washer antifreeze, are removed and stored in two-part containment units until they can be picked up by qualified transporters to be shipped off for recycling. Batteries and tires, when too spent or worn to be sold back to the public for direct reuse, are also removed, handled and stored in a safe manner before being shipped off for further recycling. Freon, a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gas that destroys stratospheric ozone, is safely removed from vehicle air conditioning units using advanced machinery, and properly stored in special containers by certified professionals. Mercury switches are also properly removed and shipped off to qualified professionals. The mercury from a single switch is enough to contaminate 15 Olympic-sized swimming pools, and this is only the smallest quantity of the hazardous fluids that each and every ELV contains. So any alternative to qualified automotive recyclers handling these automobiles is basically unthinkable. So here we have the vicious circle. Many ELVs are still crushed “wet” (without first being properly drained and processed) by tow companies and other non-qualified entities, and sent directly to shredders and beyond, where vast amounts of energy will be expended to eventually remake these castaway clunkers into usable steel. While other ELVs sit at certified recyclers, albeit properly processed and handled, with next to none of their quality inspected and in many cases tested parts being brought back into usage. As a society trained to admire colourful cardboard and shiny blister packaging, many drive on by recycled parts to purchase new parts at a higher cost, both financially and environmentally. So due to space constraints the hapless recycler is eventually forced to crush and cast off many usable parts—a sad plight for us all to say the least. For those who want to become more environmentally conscious, make sure all ELVs find their way to a proper auto-recycling depot. And the next time your car, truck, van or SUV needs repair, be it mechanical, collision or other, insist that the repair facility use recycled parts from a certified and associated professional automotive recycler. They’re all around you. 30
la plupart des véhicules, qu’il s’agisse d’une panne mécanique ou d’une réparation de carrosserie. Insistez sur des pièces recyclées lors de la prochaine réparation de votre automobile! Un autre domaine très important où les recycleurs d’automobiles contribuent à préserver et à assainir l’environnement, est le traitement sécuritaire et écologique de véhicules hors d’usage (les VHU). Aujourd’hui, la grande majorité des recycleurs d’automobiles adhèrent à au moins une sorte de gestion environnementale, et leurs travailleurs sont des techniciens professionnels qui peuvent retirer les liquides et les produits dangereux, et s’en débarrasser correctement et de la façon la plus sécuritaire possible. Les huiles, comme les huiles à moteur, de transmission, de différentiels, de direction et de freinage, en plus des antigels de moteur et de lave pare-brise, sont retirés et entreposés dans des contenants en deux parties jusqu'à ce qu’ils soient ramassés par des transporteurs qualifiés et envoyés à des centres de recyclage. Les batteries et les pneus qui sont trop détériorés ou usés et qui ne peuvent ainsi être vendus aux consommateurs en vue de leur réutilisation, sont également retirés, manutentionnés et entreposés de façon sécuritaire avant d’être transportés chez les recycleurs. Le fréon, un gaz chlorofluorocarbone ou CFC qui détruit l’ozone stratosphérique, est retiré de façon sécuritaire des climatiseurs à l’aide de machinerie de pointe et est correctement entreposé dans des contenants spéciaux par des professionnels certifiés. Les interrupteurs à mercure sont également correctement retirés et acheminés chez des professionnels qualifiés. Le mercure que contient un seul interrupteur pourrait contaminer l’eau de 15 piscines de taille olympique et il ne s’agit ici que de la plus petite quantité de fluides dangereux que contient chaque VHU. Toute autre alternative que la manutention de ces véhicules par quiconque d’autre qu’un recycleur d’automobile qualifié est impensable. Nous sommes ainsi pris dans un cercle vicieux. Plusieurs VHU sont broyés « mouillés » (c’est-à-dire, sans avoir été correctement vidés et traités au préalable) par des entreprises de remorquage ou d’autres compagnies non qualifiées. Ils sont alors directement envoyés au déchiquetage et pire, et de fortes quantités d’énergie sont déployées pour transformer ces bazous rejetés en acier utilisable. Pendant ce temps, d’autres VHU sont chez des recycleurs certifiés et correctement traités et manipulés, dont les pièces inspectées et dûment vérifiées sont remises en utilisation. Comme société habituée à admirer le carton multicolore et les emballages coque, plusieurs d’entre nous choisissons d’ignorer les recycleurs d’automobiles et d’acheter des pièces neuves à un coût financier et environnemental plus élevé. Alors, dû au manque d’espace, le pauvre recycleur est forcé de broyer et de se débarrasser de plusieurs pièces utilisables, ce qui est, pour le moins que l’on puisse dire, une bien triste situation pour nous tous. En optant en faveur d’une attitude plus favorable à l’environnement, assurez-vous que tous les VHU finissent chez un recycleur d’automobiles qualifié. Et la prochaine fois que vous devrez faire réparer votre automobile, votre camion ou tout autre véhicule, pour des raisons de mécanique ou de carrosserie, insistez pour que le garage que vous choisirez utilise des pièces provenant d’un recycleur d’automobiles certifié ou associé. Ils sont tous là, autour de vous.

askatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) bought its first yard management system in 1984. They built enhancements to the systems the following year, which prevented them from adding “standard” upgrades to the operating system. From that point on, all improvements were done in house by SGI systems staff. By 2006, SGI knew that its existing yard-management system needed to be replaced to meet industry standards, which meant either significant re-working of their own software or buying a completely new system. SGI needed something that would give them access to technologies such as bar coding, which would streamline inventory management, and allow them to communicate with others in the industry. They wanted to upgrade without sacrificing any of the functionality of the old system. In 2007, SGI put out a request for proposal and eventually selected Car-Part.com. “With any other company, we would have to rewrite our system as something separate and apart from the industry,” said Allan Ripplinger, SGI branch manager. “And we didn’t want that.” Car-Part allowed SGI to cost effectively manage its inventory and to share it with other organizations. The two companies spent time adapting Car-Part’s systems to meet SGI’s needs. “We’re both in insurance and auto recycling, so we understand each other,” said Cheryl Hoimyr, SGI’s administrative finance manager. SGI took the leap and converted to Car-Part’s Checkmate system December 8, 2008. To help ease the transition, Car-Part sent trainers to every SGI branch, which is an admirable feat when you consider that Car-Part is based in Kentucky and the conversion happened in the dead of Saskatchewan’s winter. The year has been busy for both companies, with much time dedicated to re-examining SGI’s processes, tweaking Car-Part’s system to streamline operations, and testing changes to make newly designed applications work in SGI’s business. In 2010, Car-Part will continue working to enhance Checkmate and pricing algorithms with SGI, as well as finding solutions to provide more availability for recycled parts. “SGI is very focused on serving the collision repair industry,” said Car-Part CEO Jeff Schroder. “They’re ahead of the game in their thinking, so they can solve problems people are still struggling with.”

n 1984, la Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) a acheté son premier système de gestion de dépôt. La SGI améliora le système l’année suivante ce qui l’empêcha de le valoriser de façon régulière. Dès lors, toutes les améliorations ont été menées à l’interne par son personnel spécialisé. Dès 2006, la SGI savait que son système de gestion de dépôt devait être remplacé pour répondre aux normes de l’industrie, ceci voulant dire qu’il fallait complètement réviser leurs logiciels, soit se procurer un tout nouveau système. La SGI avait besoin d’un système qui inclurait des technologies telles que le codage à barres, permettant d’améliorer la gestion des stocks et de communiquer avec d’autres collègues de l’industrie. La SGI voulait apporter ces améliorations sans pour autant sacrifier la fonctionnalité du système en place. En 2007, la SGI lança une demande de propositions et éventuellement sélectionna Car-Part. « Avec toute autre compagnie nous serions obligés de réécrire notre propre système de façon différente et distincte de celui de l’industrie, a dit Allan Ripplinger, directeur de succursale de la SGI, et nous voulions justement éviter une telle situation ». Car-Part a ainsi permis à la SGI de gérer son inventaire de manière financièrement efficace et de le partager avec d’autres organismes. Car-Part et la SGI ont passé du temps à adapter le système de Car-Part afin de répondre aux besoins de la SGI. « Nous oeuvrons tous deux dans les domaines de l’assurance et du recyclage d’automobiles, donc nous nous comprenons » a déclaré Cheryl Hoimyr, gestionnaire des services financiers de la SGI. C’est le 8 décembre 2008 que la SGI a fait le « grand saut » en faveur du système CheckMate de Car-Part. Pour faciliter la transition, Car-Part a dépêché des formateurs dans chaque succursale de la SGI, ce qui est remarquable, étant donné que Car-Part est basée au Kentucky et que la conversion au système CheckMate a eu lieu durant les grands froids hivernaux du Saskatchewan. L’année a été pleine pour ces deux sociétés, car avec beaucoup de temps consacré à réexaminer les processus de la SGI, à peaufiner le système de Car-Part de manière à rendre les opérations plus efficaces et faire les vérifications nécessaires pour s’assurer que les nouvelles applications soient conformes au déroulement des activités de la SGI. En 2010, Car-Part continuera à travailler à l’amélioration de CheckMate et des algorithmes d’évaluation avec la SGI, afin de trouver des solutions permettant d’accroître la disponibilité de pièces recyclées. « La SGI attache beaucoup d’importance à l’industrie de la réparation de la carrosserie », a dit Jeff Schroder, le PDG de Car-Part. La SGI a déjà une longueur d’avance dans sa façon de penser, elle est donc en mesure de résoudre des problèmes que les gens n’arrivent pas encore à élucider ».

n the tight-knit community of auto recyclers, a little bit of goodwill goes a long way. Auto recyclers enjoy the subtle fanfare and modesty of their trade. Their approach to philanthropy has always been: those who can should. No questions asked. The Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) shared the same philosophy, as did the 20 members who were selected to participate in a series of local charity events. They made their contributions in the same matter-of-fact vein. In the past year alone, OARA has made $200,000 in contributions to hospitals, health organizations, environmental groups and community organizations. They have made the industry more socially responsible by helping to establish the auto recyclers Code of Practice in Canada, while chipping in to the “Retire your Ride” program to promote green recycling. Over the past five years the association has donated over $1 million to 15 charities through the Car Heaven program. OARA has also recently made investments at two universities to further the research and awareness of auto recycling. The association invested in the home front, granting scholarships to the next generation of auto recyclers. “It feels good to help young people…and to help out our employees,” said Steve Fletcher, executive director of OARA. “They don’t get a lot of recognition, but they are the ones in the shop and on the counter doing our good work every day.”
D
ans la communauté très unie que forment les recycleurs d’automobiles, faire preuve d’un peu de bonne volonté peut mener loin. Les recycleurs d’automobiles profitent de la modestie de leurcommerce. Leur approche de la philanthropie a toujours été : ceux qui peuvent donner le fassent–point à la ligne. L’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) partage la même philosophie et les 20 membres qui ont été sélectionnés pour participer à une série d’évènements caritatifs locaux l’ont fait en manifestant ce même sens pratique. Juste dans cette année, OARA a fait des contributions à hauteur de 200,000 $ aux hôpitaux, aux organismes de santé, les groupes environnementaux et des organismes communautaires. Ils ont fait que l’industrie soit plus socialement responsable en aidant à établir les Codes de Pratiques des recycleurs d’automobiles au Canada, et aussi au programme RetireYour Ride pour promouvoir le recyclage. Au cours des cinq dernières années, l’association afait don de plus d’un milliard de dollars à 15 organismes de bienfaisance par l’intermédiaire du programme Car Heaven. OARA a également fait des investissements récents dans deuxuniversités à favoriser la recherche et la sensibilisation du recyclage automobile. L’association a également fait ressortir les visages derrière cette industrie progressive, eninvestissant dans le front intérieur, l’octroi de bourses d’études à la prochaine génération derecycleurs automobiles pour compenser les coûts de l’enseignement supérieur. « Cela fait du bien de pouvoir aider les jeunes… et de pouvoir aider nos propres employés, » dit Steve Fletcher, directeur général de l’OARA. « Ils ne reçoivent pas beaucoup de reconnaissance, mais cesont eux dans le magasin et sur le comptoir qui font notre travail bien chaque jour. »

“We started small—I worked my way up to what we have now.” « Nous avons connu des débuts fort modestes— j’ai ouvert la voie à un plus grand succès ».
“We started small,” says Don Charlton, Pro Auto’s owner and, when company was founded in 1990, its sole employee. “I worked my way up to what we have now.” Today, Pro Auto Recycling has 26 employees and two yards—seven acres in Abbotsford and four and a half acres in Surrey, BC. The new facility is 35,000 sq. ft., complete with 18,000 sq. ft. for warehousing and a 6,000 sq. ft. dismantle shop. The site’s built to industry environmental best practices, practices Charlton helped establish. Charlton—who served as chair of BC Auto Recyclers (B-CAR) for a decade—grew up in the auto industry, beginning with his father’s collision repair shop. He did a four-year auto parts apprenticeship and worked as a mechanic for a couple of years before taking a temporary job with an auto recycler. He took a liking to the used parts business and ended up staying in it for the next five years. Finally, in 1990, he mortgaged his house to start his first recycling yard in Aldergrove, BC. “The first yard was horrible. There was no running water. We had no equipment to move a car. The yard was mud—when it rained it was just mud out there. … It was pretty humble beginnings.” But they did good there, mostly installing engines and selling parts to other auto recyclers. By 1992, the company had made enough to put a down payment on the white house in Abbotsford and 36
« Nous avons connu des débuts fort modestes, nous dit Don Charlton, propriétaire de Pro Auto. Lorsque la compagnie a été fondée en 1990, j’étais le seul employé, mais j’ai ouvert la voie à un plus grand succès ». Aujourd’hui, Pro Auto Recycling compte 26 employés etdeux cours, l’une de sept acres à Abbotsford et une deuxième de 4,5 acres à Surrey, en C.-B. La nouvelle installation occupe 35 000 pieds carrés, dont un entrepôt de 18 000 pieds carrés et un atelier de démontage de 6 000 pieds carrés. Le site et est conforme aux normes environnementales les plus exigeantes de l’industrie, que M. Charlton a lui-même contribué à mettre en place. Charlton, qui a été président de BC Auto Recyclers (B-CAR) pendant une dizaine d’années, a grandi dans l’industrie automobile en travaillant d’abord dans l’atelier de carrosserie de son père. Après un programme d’apprentissage de quatre ans en pièces d’automobile, il a brièvement travaillé comme mécanicien avant un emploi temporaire de recycleur automobile. Ayant pris goût à l’industrie des pièces usagées il décida de s’y consacrer pendant cinq ans. Enfin, en 1990, il hypothéquait sa maison pour financer le démarrage de son premier chantier de recyclage à Aldergrove, C.-B. « Ce premier endroit était tout un défi. Il n’y avait pas d’eau courante. Nous n’avions aucun équipement pour déplacer les véhicules. La cour était en terre et quand il pleuvait, ce n’était que de la boue... les débuts étaient for modestes. » Mais ils y ont prospéré, en installant des moteurs et en vendant des pièces à d’autres recycleurs.

over the next 15 years or so continued to grow the business until they had three sites: Import Auto Recyclers, Pro Truck and Van Recyclers in Abbotsford and Pro Auto Recyclers in Surrey. For all his success, the reputation that came with the industry still bothered Charlton. “As far as environmental practices go, the image that this industry had was that we were just dirty, messy and that it was junk,” he says. None of which matches the man—well dressed with a strong social conscious. “I mean we’re the original recyclers because it’s cars. And we’ve been recycling cars for decades.” On the green front, Charlton’s a legitimate pioneer. Abbotsford was a good location to improve the industry’s image. The town’s aquifer is particularly high, which forces the town to take issues of ground contamination quite seriously to avoid polluting the water supply. Working on B-CAR’s board, Charlton helped develop the Auto Recyclers Environmental Code of Practice in 2000, which operations have to comply with to get a business license in Abbotsford. BC adopted the code province–wide seven years later and there’s an ongoing movement to adopt similar regulations in other provinces. In this area, Abbotsford was way ahead of the curve. It took about six months to get completely moved in to Pro Auto’s new Abbotsford building. They consolidated the Import Auto and Pro Truck yards into the central location and, by doing so, increased their capacity to process vehicles. The only major reminder of life as it was at Pro Auto Abbotsford is the soon-to-be-destroyed sales office. “It’s almost surreal looking at that and wondering: we did business in that thing for so long?” Charlton says. “I tell everyone I know how the Jeffersons felt.” He’s movin’ on up.
En 1992, la compagnie avait suffisamment de fonds pour un acompte sur la maison blanche d’ Abbotsford et au cours des 15 prochaines années, ils ont continué à faire croître l’entreprise et à développer trois sites: Import Auto Recyclers et Pro Truck and Van Recyclers à Abbotsford, et Pro Auto Recyclers à Surrey. Malgré tout son succès, la mauvaise réputation de l’industrie dérangeait encore Charlton. « Du point de vue de l’environnement, nous étions perçus comme une industrie sale, désordonnée, du bric-à-brac ». Une image allant à l’encontre de l’homme lui-même, d’une tenue impeccable et animé d’une grande conscience sociale. « Nous sommes les pionniers parce que nous recyclons des véhicules depuis des dizaines d’années ». Sur le front Vert, Charlton est également un vrai pionnier et Abbotsford était un bon endroit pour améliorer l’image de l’industrie, car, entre autres, la nappe phréatique de la ville est particulièrement élevée, ce qui oblige la municipalité à prendre des mesures sévères pour empêcher la contamination des terres, afin d’éviter la pollution de l’eau. Alors qu’il siégeait au conseil d’administration de B-CAR, Charlton a contribué en 2000, au développement d’un Code de pratiques environnementales pour les recycleurs automobiles que les entrepreneurs doivent respecter afin d’ obtenir un permis commercial, à Abbotsford. La Colombie-Britannique a appliqué ce code à l’échelle de la province sept ans plus tard, et ce mouvement se propage dans d’autres provinces. Dans ce domaine, Abbotsford fait vraiment figure de pionnière. Il a fallut presque six mois pour emménager dans le nouveau bâtiment de Pro Auto à Abbotsford. Ils ont regroupé les cours Auto Import et Pro Truck en une seule installation, afin d’augmenter leur capacité de traitement de véhicules. Tout ce qui reste de l’ancien Pro Auto à Abbotsford est le vieux bureau de vente qui sera tout prochainement démoli. « C’est incroyable que nous ayons pu travailler dans cette bâtisse pendant si longtemps! » « Je dis à tout le monde, je sais comment se sentaient les Jeffersons ». Donc, il va de l’avant.

O
nce considered a “diamond in the rough,” automotive recyclers are progressively emerging from the junkyard mentality to demonstrate they are truly an exceptional field. As a field that combines the work of two different industries, automotive recyclers are also one of the community’s leading environmental ambassadors. Today’s automotive recyclers must be innovative and adaptable to the changing needs of consumers and the environment. This means implementing state-of-the-art technologies in their facilities and continually growing with new systems. Being a part of this elite community means more than knowing how to dismantle and assemble a vehicle. You must believe the parts in an end-of-life vehicle aren’t “ended,” demand high environmental standards, own the passion to inspire others and, most of all, have the drive and determination to never give up on what you believe. In the following pages, you will find some of the Canadian auto recyclers who are making leaps and bounds in preserving the environment and changing the automotive industry, one auto part at a time.

Les recycleurs d’automobiles d’ aujourd’hui, doivent être Innovateurs et s’adapter aux besoins changeants des consommateurs et de l’environnement.

Faire partie de cette communauté d’élite ne se limite pas à simplement démonter et remonter un véhicule. Vous devez être convaincus que les pièces des véhicules en fin de vie utile ont encore bel et bien une vie, exiger des standards élevés de normes environnementales, vous devez être passionnés afin d’ inspirer les autres, et surtout, faire preuve de volonté et de détermination dans la défense de votre cause. Nous vous présentons, ci-après, certains des recycleurs d’automobiles canadiens qui font des pas de géant dans la préservation de l’environnement et qui changent le profil de l’industrie automobile, une pièce à la fois.

Worth Every Acre
Aldon Auto Salvage has lots of history behind it and a bright future ahead. J.C. Wen
There’s a story to be told in every acre of Aldon Auto Salvage’s 99-acre dismantling and recycling yard in Lamont, Alberta. Established in 1970, the family-owned and managed Aldon Auto Salvage was the fruit of Allen, Donna and Ian Carter’s labour. From its original 100x100 foot yard, it has grown to be an advanced auto recycling facility, capable of dismantling approximately 1,000 late model vehicles every year. Aldon Auto Salvage’s meticulously organized, state-of-the-art storage and inventory system promotes speedy access to its large volume of cars, currently over 5,000 vehicles strong. In 1981, the mantle of general manager was passed on to Allen Carter’s son, Terry, who shepherded the business into the modern age. Terry attributes Aldon Auto’s current success to the lasting relationships it has built with both its customers and employees. “[We] found that by being conciliatory with staff and clients rather than being overly defensive

or aggressive, good relationships multiplied and business prospered,” Carter said in an interview for AARDA’s newsletter. “We strive to give our employees the incentive to take pride in their jobs and place of work.” Although Aldon broke away from its humble beginnings long ago, the Carters maintain their trademark quality and service of high-quality, low-cost alternatives for new auto parts. “I feel really good about being in an industry where I don’t have to sell anybody anything they don’t need or want because I have a good product that saves them money, that has low risk,” Carter said. “And that I am a steward of the environment on a daily basis.”
The Front of the Pack
Allwest Auto Parts continues to play a leadership role in the auto-recycling industry. J.C. Wen
Stephen Cox worked his way up through ranks of Allwest Auto Parts to get to where he is now, starting with sales, inventory and some minor dismantling. He’s held the title of general manager at Allwest since 1997. Suffice it to say that Cox understands the company from top to bottom. Working alongside Ed and June Wierma, the owners of the facility, Cox looks forward to the constant and rapid changes occurring in Allwest Auto Parts’ five-acre yard, located at 4416 76th Avenue in downtown Edmonton. “The diversity of this market and how it changes, in general, has always been very energizing,” Cox said. With nearly three decades of history to its name, Allwest Auto Parts continues to adopt more mechanically efficient practices, including closing down its older vehicle dismantling yards to make room for environmentally friendly technologies.
Allwest Auto Parts’ facility in Edmonton, Alberta is constantly adapting to stay ahead of the curve.
Above all else, Cox takes pride in the professional commitment of his staff. “We are very professional,” Cox said. “We are very concerned about the quality and the service we provide. We also like to be the leader within the industry.” Being a leader is nothing new to him. Cox is the serving president of the Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association. It’s a position that has bolstered Allwest Auto Parts’ role in the auto-recycling community. As for what’s in store for Allwest Auto Parts, Cox is up beat. Their long-term strategy, as Cox puts it, is to “be the best we can be at what we do. Be successful.”

Owned and operated by three brothers, A-1 Auto Salvage is a long standing family business nestled in the heart of mainland British Columbia. With a focus on customer service and the environment, this business isn’t just weathering the economic storm, they’re looking to a bright future after over 30 years of successful auto recycling. A-1 Auto Salvage has been in Penticton since 1951. The current owners Harvey, Skip and Larry Ryll took over the facility in 1978 and have been operating it since. Its proximity to shipping routes allows them to offer beyond the local market. This is good for customers everywhere. A-1 Salvage has a strong policy on customer service. “It doesn’t have to be complicated; we focus on calling customers back,” Ryll says. “You’d be surprised how many folks are pleasantly surprised to get a simple telephone call.” A-1 Auto Salvage also goes above and beyond for customers by helping them find parts at other yards if they don’t have them in stock. This level of service is complemented by their excellent record in environmental practices.
A-1 Auto Salvage in Penticton, British Columbia. The Ryll brothers use their beautiful backdrop and natural surroundings as inspiration for their gold standard environmental practices.
Over the decades, the company has seen the transformation of the parts industry from scrap yards to full–fledged, state-of-the-art auto recycling facilities. The Ryll brothers take pleasure in knowing that their industry is responsible for preventing fluids, harmful metals such as lead and mercury, Freon and a number of other harmful substances from polluting the environment. Two years ago, A-1 Auto Salvage was awarded the gold standard for environmental practices, which they have maintained ever since. In November of 2009, the company also won the Switch Out Contest organized by Summerhill Impact. With the recognition coming their way, it is certain that these brothers will continue to strive as leaders in the industry.

Currently, about 30 per cent of A & L’s business comes from American consumers. The brothers are pleased to have multiple ongoing contract deals in the works, including a couple of automotive manufacturers, to procure more wholesale parts deals. “We are bursting at the seams,” Lanoue says. They are running out of space and plans for a new warehouse are well on their way to properly accommodate their growing inventory and business. As Jeff Lanoue states candidly, “If you aren’t moving forward, you are moving backwards.”

Brothers Jeff and John Lanoue have been busy running the family business, A & L Auto Recyclers, since 1991. Originally started by their father in 1961, the company is situated by the lakeshore area of Southwestern Ontario. “We are all about getting better and learning from other successful companies,” Jeff Lanoue says. Lanoue joined Counts Consulting, a consulting firm for businesses in the auto recycling industry, to improve and streamline A & L Auto Recyclers. He has visited many auto recyclers across North America and reviewed their sales, buying, accounting and facility procedures and implemented the best of them to better A & L. While times have been tough for business owners in Southwestern Ontario, A & L has managed to hold its own in the market. They have been aggressively pursuing relations with organizations such as CAR-MS—which now boasts 23 members and is the largest auto recycler group in Canada. “I’m surprised at the amount of sales coming out of Indiana in comparison to Michigan,” Lanoue says.

AADCO Auto Parts is committed to providing quality recycled OEM parts, and its primary business interest is in the sale of recycled OEM parts to collision and mechanical repair facilities. “We supply parts for practically anything and everything,” says Don Fraser, vice-president of AADCO Auto Parts.

Kelly Mencfeld
Arnprior & Ottawa Auto Parts’ facility stands on 30 acres of land located just outside of Arnprior in Ottawa, Ontario. This is one of 2,500 vehicles the shop dismantles a year.
“This is the government’s way to capture scrap tires so that they don’t end up in land fills. This initiative was a long time coming,” Aumont says. As a professional parts recycler, Arnprior handles all makes and models including light trucks. “All of our parts are checked and rechecked. We are very cautious when dismantling our cars,” he says. “Customer service and good quality parts are the keys to success in this business. We strive to provide fast, efficient delivery to our customers, their satisfaction is our number one priority.” While most recyclers focus on larger sales, no request is too small for Arnprior. “We take our work seriously, especially customers,” Aumont says. “We focus on one part at a time with our customers in mind.”

Customer Service Remains Priority #1
Constant communication, adaptation and a desire to please its customers are integral to Auto Parts Network.

Since Auto Parts Network’s humble beginnings in 1996, customer service has remained its top priority. The strategy has paid off—today, the Mount Pearl, Newfoundland company is one of the largest auto recycling facilities in Atlantic Canada. Its extraordinary growth is largely due to its relentless pursuit of complete customer satisfaction. “Understanding each of our customer’s needs and developing systems to address those needs are paramount,” said Adam Budden, Auto Parts Network’s general manager. “If you listen to your customers you will be amazed at the opportunities to grow and improve your business.” Of course, none of that matters if you don’t have the quality and attention to detail to back it up, which is something Auto Parks Network keenly understands. They work hard to make sure parts go out exactly as they were described when the order was placed. “Our body shop customers should always receive their orders as they had initially placed them,” Budden commented. “With no grey area.”
Adam Budden, gerneral manager of Auto Parts Network. The facility, located in St. John’s-Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, is approximately 26, 000 sq. ft. and sits on ten acres of land.
Auto Parts Network has also adopted an industry leading five-year parts and labour warranty, which provides a peace-of-mind guarantee for buyers of all stripes. “Walk-in customers need not worry with fiveyear part and labour coverage,” Budden said. “Also, we’re providing a strong selling tool for our mechanical shops, as they can pass along the added coverage to their customers.” The warranty is yet another tool to aid Auto Parts Network’s overall strategy of providing positive experiences for every customer. “Providing quality parts and superior service will insure a successful future for Auto Parts Network, our committed employees and our most valued asset—our customers.”

Educating Customers for a Greener Planet Boston Auto Wrecker’s key concern is helping customers make informed decisions.
Kaori Inui
Boston Auto’s Toronto Facilities. If you’re not close by, you can shop online—they will provide you with several photos of parts before you buy, which minimizes returns and increases customer satisfaction.
Maio’s strategy for educating clients consists of a quiet dedication, which he believes will eventually pay off as customer loyalty. “Sometimes I don’t even sell the client the part” Maio said. “We always put our best foot forward and if I feel they don’t need the part I simply recommend that client has it fixed.” Maio worked as a civil engineer after graduating from the University of Toronto, but he shifted his career to take over the family-run business five years ago. Since then, he has focused on modernizing the shop, introducing more environmentally friendly facilities and an online inventory system. “We strive to keep on excelling in the industry. Ultimately our goal is to keep the environment top of mind and provide clients with industry-leading customer care.”

When Maio meets his clients, he educates them on exactly what they are purchasing, and that what they are buying are used parts that will save them money and reduce the impact on the environment. “Before paying thousands of dollars for a new engine or transmission, all car owners should consider investing in quality used car parts,” Maio said. “Significantly cheaper than new car parts, used auto parts offer effective solutions to keeping cars in proper working order.”

Family Name Takes First Place
Carcone’s Auto Recycling establishes their reputation by creating many “firsts” in the industry.
Megan Ng In business for over 30 years, Michael Carcone is still leading with the same passion and strong work ethic his father, Tony Carcone, had when he formed Carcone’s Auto Recycling. When Tony first arrived in Canada, he made a modest living as a bowling pin setter, but his love for cars encouraged him to learn the trade. Auto recycling came to him while on another job. From there he realized his true aspirations. Today he’s the family’s resident golfer, while Michael advances the 50,000 sq. ft. facility and 10 acres of land by remaining innovative and adaptable. Carcone believes it’s the right time to expand, but would like to maintain the working balance between the staff and their customers. According to Carcone, customer service is one of the main contributing factors to their success. Changing the “junkyard mentality” is important to Carcone. He tries to push this through his many affiliations, including OARA and the United Recyclers Group. “I’d like to see more consumer recognition so they can see us for what we are,” Carcone says. “We’re auto recyclers, not scrap yards or junkyards.”

Carcone’s has been known to have many “firsts” in the auto recycling industry. They were one of the first to establish a computer and network database. In 2008, they were the first in Canada to be ISO-certified for wheel refinishing—they are the only auto recycler that specializes in wheel refinishing and this difference has allowed them to remain distinct in their field. Keeping with their “tech savvy” image, they recently added an online live help desk attendant powered by Windows Live Messenger. With key moves like these, remembering the Carcone name will be easy for those in the industry and public alike. “The advice my dad gave me was name is everything,” Carcone says. “If you don’t have a good reputation with your name, you have nothing.”

Maritime Facility Gears Up for the Big 50 in 2010 Covey’s Auto Recyclers continues to uphold honesty and integrity as it approaches another milestone.
Megan Ng
Some of the dedicated staff at Covey’s Auto Recyclers enjoying a brief break together on the 14-acre lot, where their 50th anniversary festivities will be held in June 2010.
“We want state-of-the-art equipment that can handle and streamline the processing of our vehicles. This will be more efficient, both in time and money for us, as well as the customer,” Covey says. Covey’s is pleased they can supply every possible part of a vehicle to their customers, which can be multi-searched or sorted by images through a comprehensive online search engine. They also offer a 91-day warranty on all in-house stock. With such convenience and high regard for quality service and parts, it’s no surprise many of Covey’s Auto Recyclers’ customers keep returning year after year. In June 2010, Covey and his staff will celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. The festivities promise nothing short of spectacular and, of course, environmentally-friendly.

Started in 1960 by Hale Covey, his legacy of strong work ethic and belief in environmental sustainability is carried on today by his son and current owner and manager, Derek Covey. After graduating with a BBA from Acadia University, Derek’s progression into the family business was natural. He only hopes to elevate what his father started. “Honesty and integrity are two of the big things my dad instilled in me, which I’ve passed on to my staff,” Covey says. “We’re committed to supplying quality parts with on-time delivery. We ship worldwide, have depots in major markets and have retail shops for customers to obtain their parts as well— whatever we can do to make it easier for them.” Covey is also the president of ARAAC, on the board of directors for ARC and a certified member of ARA. With major roles in some of the industry’s most influential organizations, Covey knows how important it is to anticipate trends, adapt to changes and keep up with the fast-paced industry in the national arena. This year, the 13 staff members at Covey’s are proud to announce the integration of a new dismantling shop on their 14 acre facility.

Family Business With a Half Century History Dom’s Auto Parts challenges the old norm of recycling facilities with innovative techniques.
Kelly Mencfeld
Dominic Vetere, founder of Dom’s Auto Parts and grandfather of the current president, Dominic Vetere, in 1937. Dominic Vetere later starts his business in 1964.
Dom’s Auto Parts services the retail pick-a-part market, the mid-to-late model insurance market and the mechanical repair business market. The Ontario automotive recycling industry is currently taking steps toward a recycler licensing system. “A system would reward legitimate recyclers for their efforts to provide effective, environmentally sound operating practices in Ontario. It would also help shut down illegal operations.” Vetere sees a real future for this market. “The future of our industry will see 99 per cent recyclable vehicles, alternate fuel and power supplies, more environmentally sound and efficiently produced transportation,” he explains. “We embrace the advancements of the industry and look forward to the challenges which face us.”

In Courtice, Ontario, resides Dom’s Auto Parts, a third-generation, family-owned business, servicing the automotive industry for over 40 years. During their time in operation, they have grown to encompass over 30 employees and 60 acres of property. The company has advanced in the industry with their state-of-the-art dismantling facility, indoor warehouse and a fleet of tow and delivery trucks. “We stock both car and truck parts for both early and late model vehicles as well as thousands of aftermarket mechanical new parts,” says Dominic Vetere, the owner of Dom’s Auto Parts. Dom’s is doing its part to take the automotive recycling market into the new era by ensuring all of their vehicles are dismantled with the utmost concern and consideration for the environment, using regulated standards. “Today’s modern recycling facilities are run more like new car dealerships,” Vetere explains. “We sell OEM recycled parts, which are tested, cleaned and guaranteed. Purchasing OEM recycled or used auto parts makes sense, not only for your wallet, but the environment as well.”

to keep the industry financially behind may be the same things that will keep them in business. “It’s about manufacturer responsibility. For example, we should work with plastics manufacturers to make plastic recyclable, and that’s where the industry is heading,” Vanleeuwen says. The recession has been challenging for Fergus Auto Recyclers, but Vanleeuwen has not let it deter him and his staff ’s spirit and work ethic. Recently, Vanleeuwen added a liquidation centre for new and used surplus and re-opened a metal transfer station, which acts similar to the blue box system to get things more organized and cleaner. “The one thing that drives me is my faith,” says Vanleeuwen. “As a created world, it is our Godgiven right to look after what was created.”

From its humble beginnings as a scrap yard, Fergus Auto Recyclers has become an innovative ecological leader in the industry. The company was started in 1992 by Bob Vanleeuwen. Unable to put up with the mess of a scrap yard, Vanleeuwen got the facility environmentally on track by re-inventing it in the 1995–1996 period. “Car shredders aren’t sorting all the metals. If done incorrectly, it can become one of the biggest polluters. But if done right, 80 per cent of a vehicle can be recycled. We recycle as much of a vehicle as we can through part sales or metal recycling,” says Vanleeuwen. “We’re a full circle facility that can handle every part of a vehicle.” Despite his high expectations, Vanleeuwen is confident his staff will continue to measure up. One employee who has contributed significantly in management and growth of the business is Sjoerd Dehaan. Affectionately known as “Shoe,” he has been helping Vanleeuwen since 1994. With the industry evolving and the government becoming more eco-minded, OARA board of directors member Vanleeuwen says the things that used

People also factor in preferences like colour, style, etc.” For the year ahead, the brothers will continue working with industry associations such as ARA, OARA, Summerhill Impact, Switch Out and UCDA. Ron would like to integrate staff with a new computer system and get more in-depth with sales knowledge, while Rob looks to construct another building, which will include a newly designed dismantling facility. By remaining task-oriented and adhering to their strengths, the future looks promising for the Mollicone brothers and the Hilltop businesses.

A lot has changed since the original Mollicone brothers started Hilltop Auto Wreckers in 1968. Forty-one years later, second-generation Mollicone brothers, Rob and Ron have brought a new wave of environmental energy with Hilltop Auto Recyclers. The brothers have a well-balanced relationship with Rob, the president, working on administration and DIY location and Ron, the manager, handling the supply of repair parts and mechanical aspects. “We have different strengths, but we’re both looking for the light at the end of the tunnel,” Ron says. They are proud their father and uncle built Auto Wreckers from the ground up, and have pioneered similar success with Auto Recyclers. The intent was to educate clients about viable environmental options and to broaden Hilltop Auto Wreckers to be about more than just “wrecking cars.” One of the main business strategies the brothers have implemented to stay on top of the industry during the recession was to push for more advertising on the DIY location. “We used to have a DIY at our old location—15 to 20 years ago—but not with the same capacity

Making the Connection
JustParts.com is working to connect the world of auto recycling across Canada and around the world. Joe Rayment
From left: Lisa Sticca, Michael Racco and Frank Racco in the warehouse at Thunder Bay Auto Parts in Thunder Bay, Ontario, not so far away from JustParts.com’s offices.
“The really nice thing about being a smaller company like us is that we can take that feedback and translate it into a result very, very quickly,” Racco says. “We can discuss it and say ‘let’s do this in our next release’ and come out with it eight weeks later.” For minor updates, they can make changes in as little as two days. Recently, the company has partnered with other parts sources. Through their affiliate program, they’ve set up deals that allow JustParts to work with larger online parts retailers. “With that, we’ve jumped up in inventory level—I think we’re sitting at 1.5 million parts now,” Racco says. “We should be at least three million by the summer time.”

JustParts.com is a website with one foot firmly planted in the physical auto recycling industry— operating out of offices in the back of Thunder Bay Auto Parts. That said, they’re not exactly traditional recyclers. “We don’t exactly sell parts to people,” says JustParts.com CEO Michael Racco. “We’re just an online market place.... Our site allows sellers from all around the world, whether they’re from Canada, the US or anywhere, to post their parts for sale.” JustParts takes a small percentage of sales, but other than that, there are no up-front costs to users. It’s a strategy that lowers the entry barrier for smaller customers who don’t have corporate backing. The money goes directly from the buyer to the seller. “So we don’t actually go out and sell the parts or ship the parts,” Racco says. “We’re just bringing everybody together.” The company started five years ago and, after consulting with hundreds of auto recyclers, buyers and industry experts, has been fully operational for the last two. Today, constant discussion with customers remains an integral piece of JustParts’ strategy.

LKQ is a company that is growing within Canada. The acquisition of Keystone Automotive Industries in 2007 launched LKQ Corporation to become North America’s largest provider of aftermarket collision replacement products and recycled OEM products. LKQ Dominion Auto Recyclers is one of the company’s six Ontario recycling distribution facilities (two more were added this year). There has been no recession for the Stoney Creek location—it has increased revenue by 20 per cent over the prior year. Benjy Katz, LKQ Dominion’s district manager, says the auto recycling business is anti-cyclical. According to Katz, demand for his parts has actually increased during the downturn. “There was nothing we needed to do to prepare for the recession,” Katz said. “Other than realize that we were going into a growth period.” De-

industry with quality replacement parts to repair more vehicles economically,” St. Pierre said. It’s a claim he can make with confidence; he’s part of a big team that has unparalleled resources to move forward. LKQ has more than 300 locations across North America, with combined revenue of $2.3 billion last year, up from $1.8 billion in 2008. With its two newly added facilities in Ontario—LKQ Shaw in London and Headline Auto Parts in Cornwell—the company will extend its reach to western Canada with a strong and experienced team to help guide the growth. Benjy Katz has been with Dominion Auto Recycling (LKQ Dominion Auto Recycling since 2007) for nearly three decades. He joined the company in 1981 and started climbing the ladder from there. “I always think this business is exciting, challenging and I like doing it. So there was never a reason for me to do anything other than this,” Katz said. “And partnering with LKQ in 2007 really helped me take Dominion to the next stage.” Katz and St. Pierre are both proud of LKQ’s new online inventory system, which allows them to track parts from the company-wide inventory and ship them overnight from Ontario, Quebec and the US. To speed the delivery time, LKQ recently invested in a 75,000 sq. ft. warehouse, bringing them closer to their goal of networkwide same-day delivery. The company is moving forward every day, watching for opportunities to expand its network and increase the size of its corporate family. “Together, we are much stronger company,” St. Pierre said.

Tree-Hugging Golden Boy Turns a New Leaf
Maritime Auto Salvage’s main man, Ed MacDonald, turns 60 and his family and friends celebrate the past.

With over 77 years of prosperous operation and a nomination for the Maritime Business Ethics Award, Maritime Auto Salvage owners Ed and Lana MacDonald have a lot to be proud of. This year, Ed adds another title to his long list of accreditations, including chairing ARC’s board of directors and representing Canada in the International Round Table on auto recycling in Australia. The self-proclaimed “die hard tree hugger” and golf aficionado turns a golden 60 years old. Woodbeck Auto Parts president Bruce Woodbeck remembers fondly when he first met Ed at an OARA convention. “We’re both known to play a bit of a fool,” Woodbeck says. “The $1 bill was still around when I met Ed at an OARA convention, I asked him if he knew there were three songs on the $1 bill. Ed only had a $20 bill, so I showed him on the bill, ‘God Save the Queen,’ ‘O Toll Free: 1-800-565-7278 Canada,’ then I tore the bill in half and said ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’ Instead of getting upset with me, Ed laughed and to this day, we both still carry one half of the $20 bill as a reminder of that when we’re together, we’re never broke.”
Ed MacDonald and his wife Lana in October 2009. The pair have been married since 1983 and are still working blissfully together as partners in their work and in their personal life.
After working in human resources, industrial development and environmental ministries for the federal government in Ottawa, Ed got his first glimpse at his lucrative career in auto recycling when he discovered Arnprior Ottawa Auto Parts. Alvan Aumont, vice-president of Arnprior, has nothing but kind words for his dear friend of over 30 years. “To this day his sense of humour and repertoire of jokes still amaze me. Ed is a man of integrity, strong faith and a great community leader. He’s a volunteer to countless organizations such as ARC, OARA, the Rotary Club and his local Chamber of Commerce just to name a few,” Aumont says. “For his 60 th, I hope Eddie continues to enjoy cottaging with his family and friends and chasing a titlist in the woods!”

North Queen Auto Parts has been an Etobicoke landmark and leader in the community for more than 50 years. The co-owners of the business are brothers, Bob and Walter Sembay. This third generation family-owned business specializes in foreign and domestic late model auto parts, and provides OEM and aftermarket body parts. With a fully computerized inventory, parts can be accessed quickly and efficiently. Out of stock replacement parts can be located in minutes through a North American-wide used parts database. The recycled parts purchased on the premises can also be installed in their full service garage. North Queen Auto Parts recycles both end-of-life and insurance accident vehicles. Any undamaged parts are sold to collision and mechanical repair shops, which help keep insurance costs down for consumers. In addition to saving money, North Queen believes this method of operating is necessary for improving the quality of the eco-system and Canadian living standards. “We are really pushing green parts programs,” says marketing manager Barb Sembay.
QUALITY OEM RECYCLED PARTS

North Queen is an active participant of the Summerhill Impact’s Retire Your Ride program. This initiative provides owners with the opportunity to earn up to $300 for their vehicle if they meet specific criteria. Usable parts are salvaged for resale. North Queen Auto Parts also supports the “Mow Down Pollution” program, which encourages people to trade in their high-polluting gas mowers and trimmers for more environmentally friendly alternatives. Old mowers and trimmers are picked up and brought back to North Queen Auto’s recycling facility where they are dismantled and drained of all fluids safely for the environment. With the increased demand for quality used parts, it seems that North Queen will continue to be a leader and will be around for years to come.

Sky’s the Limit for Plazek’s Third-Generation Plazek Auto Recyclers Ltd is becoming customers’ go-to destination for specialty, luxury vehicle needs. Kelly Mencfeld
Aerial view of Plazek Auto Recyclers Ltd. located in Caistor Centre, Ontario. This family-owned business has plenty of room to grow, as it occupies 65 of its 100 acres of land.
“We deal with specialty vehicles including Cadillacs, Porsches, Corvettes, Mercedes and BMWs,” he says. “We no longer have trucks on the road— we do everything by mail, courier or walk-ins.” Opened in 1965 by their parents Ed and Marilyn Plazek, this third-generation company sits on 100 acres of recycling land on the outskirts of the Golden Horseshoe, in Caistor Centre. “We are currently using 65 acres of our land, which leaves a lot of space to expand—it is always in a developmental process,” Plazek says. When all is said and done, it will be the thirdgeneration of the family who will dictate the future and size of the company. “The sky’s the limit for them.” Plazek says. “There is no saying how far they will take the company.”

The Plazek family has seen their business from many different views, but at the end of the day Plazek Auto Recyclers will always be a familyowned and operated business. Purchased by GreenLeaf Auto Recyclers in 1999, the staff of 55 employees and 10 delivery truck services was grossing $12 million a year. Once the family bought the company back in 2003, they scaled the size of business down, cutting the company to a manageable eight-person business. “Larger businesses dictate you,” Joe Plazek says. “We want to run the business, not let it run us.” The company now consists of Joe, his brother Frank and sister Val, as well as his children Marc, Mike and Fallon. They have all united to join the family business. “When we decided to buy the company back, I knew it would have to look different in order to survive the future,” Plazek says. While many auto recyclers work with all makes and models, Plazek Auto Recyclers is proud to be one of the few facilities that specialize in luxury vehicles that can be difficult to find.

In 2006, Reid’s joined QRPBC and have been proactively working with the B-CAR division and AREA to improve the auto recycling industry. “Investing in associations is important. It’s our voice. There is an increasing need to educate the public on the zero waste concept. I can’t think of another industry in this province that provides free environmental services to the magnitude BC recyclers do in the processing of ELV’s,” Stuart says. “Auto Recycling is an exciting and rewarding business to be in—you never stop learning.”

Burnaby, BC 1-800-521-7710 reidsautowrecking.com
When the opportunity rose for Stuart Reid to take over an auto recycling facility in 1995, he took his ambitions and support from his family to create Reid’s Auto Wrecking. Reid’s is able to enjoy its success today because of smart business planning and sacrifices made. Shortly after entering the business, Stuart’s wife Teresa made the difficult decision to leave her medical career to support her husband’s dream. On staff are their two sons, Josh, who works on the mechanical end, and Matt, who deals with sales and inventory. Matt’s wife Anna has also taken keen interest in contributing to the business. “We are continually building our business to move forward and to do that, we choose to move upward—literally,” Teresa says. “Small can be very efficient and profitable, you just have to know how to polish your work model.” Doubling up in yard size by implementing an organized two-tier system for their specialty Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep products, Reid’s demonstrates that being better doesn’t necessarily require being larger.

Founded by Ken Gold of Scarborough in 1979, Standard Auto Wreckers has been an automotive company dedicated to buying, selling, dismantling and, most of all, recycling vehicle parts. This year, the company celebrates its 30year anniversary. With headquarters in Toronto and New York’s Niagara region, both 11 acres in size, Standard Auto Wreckers caters to Canadian and American customers. The two facilities are connected in every possible way via the Internet, which permits both operations to act as one. The Toronto facility includes an in-store tire shop which, stocks over 1000 used tires, state-of-the-art equipment and staff with a combined experience of over 60 years. The U-Pull-It yard is considered Toronto’s most established UPIC operation. It is conveniently open seven days a week for customers to search or buy used vehicle parts, which have a 90-day warranty. Car parts are divided neatly according to the car maker and even feature a “Golden Oldies” section. With new parts arriving daily, there is an incredible amount of variety.

Standard Auto Wreckers focuses predominantly on buying and selling used parts while promoting their “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” campaign. “Standard Auto Wreckers always tries to stress the importance of re-using a product [in our case, an auto part] as this is the best form of recycling,” says co-owner David Gold. “In the ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ equation, reuse comes before recycling [with good reason], and we would like to make sure the collision repairers and the public appreciate this fact.” Standard Auto Wreckers serves as proof that automobile industries can be “green industries.” “Our parts should be embraced by all of those that care about this precious Earth,” Gold says. “And anything that we can do to get this message across is very important.”

espite her petite 5’2” stature, Pierrette Grenier stands as tall and proud as the men she manages and works with at Pièces D’Autos Samson Inc. in Granby, Quebec. The company has been in business since the 1960s and Pierrette has led it for 12 of those years. Changing professional paths three times in the course of her career, it’s easy to see how Pierrette Grenier is not your average woman. She began in the medical field. She found her current position while working for the previous owner of Pièces D’Autos Samson as an accountant. When the owner propositioned Grenier to purchase the company, she knew she would be venturing into unfamiliar territory, but was ready to face the challenges that faced her. At earlier congresses, Grenier’s husband was often mistaken for the owner. Although this infuriated her, she eventually learned how to deal gracefully with people’s ignorance and preconceptions.

Lors des premiers congrès, le mari de Mme Grenier a souvent été confondu pour le propriétaire. Même si cela la rend furieuse, Mme Grenier maîtrise courtoisement les idées préconçues et l’ignorance des gens.

“Truck drivers tested me constantly. For the first few years, they would ask, ‘why don’t you get somebody competent to help me?’ I would simply reply, ‘If you see that I can’t answer your questions, then you can ask another employee yourself,” Grenier says. Women are more inclined to educate themselves on unfamiliar tasks, Grenier believes, while men are less likely to admit what they don’t know. In this respect, she also believes that a woman’s management system can be different because she will likely be more inclusive with staff in order to gather more information and opinions. In the future, she hopes to see her son take over the business, with her playing a smaller role. For now, she will continue to run her business with professionalism and integrity. As president of ARPAC.com and an administration board member at the hospital, she would also like to progress young people’s education on the rewarding prospects of entering the automotive recycling industry and the importance of preserving our Earth’s resources at local schools. “The industry is changing tremendously,” Grenier says. “There are many women stepping into the field. For me, it used to be a job, but now it’s a passion. I love what I do. I love working here.”
« Les mécaniciens m’ont beaucoup testé, » dit-elle. « Durant les premières années, ils demandaient de parler à quelqu’un de compétent ». Elle leurs répondait: « Si vous voyez que je ne peux pas répondre à votre question, je vous référerai à un de mes employés ». À son avis, Mme Grenier les femmes sont plus enclines à se sensibiliser à des tâches inhabituelles, tandis que les hommes ont plus de difficulté à admettre ce qu’ils ne savent pas. Le système de gestion d’une femme est différente: elle sera compte de l’avis de tout le personnel afin d’obtenir le plus d’informations. Mme Grenier forme son fils pour qu’il puisse prendre la relève, et lui permettant de pouvoir conserver un plus petit rôle. Pour l’instant elle continue à gérer son entreprise avec professionnalisme et intégrité. Mme Grenier est présidente de l’Arpac.com et administratrice au sein de la fondation de l’hôpital de Granby. Elle participe à l’éducation des jeunes en leur montrant les aspects gagnants de faire partie de l’industrie du recyclage automobile et l’importance de préserver les ressources de notre terre et ce dans les écoles locales. « C’est incroyable, la barrière entre hommes et femmes disparaît de plus en plus », Mme Grenier explique: « Il ya beaucoup de femmes qui s’implique dans l’industrie aujourdh’ui. Pour moi, avant c’étais une job, maintenait c’est une passion ».

A vision for extended producer responsibility for ELVs in Canada.
Une vision pour la responsabilité élargie des producteurs concernant les VHU au Canada.
démontage
by/par Usman A. Valiante
S
ince November of 2009, both Ontario and Quebec have proposed new waste diversion policy frameworks that, if enacted, would require equipment manufacturers to assume responsibility for the environmental management of their end-of-life-vehicles (ELVs) within the next five years. About 15 years ago, provincial governments began to take a strong interest in extended producer responsibility (EPR) as a means to shift the cost of end-of-life management of waste materials from the tax base to producers of products. At that time they focused their efforts on common consumer waste products that didn’t have existing recycling programs. Accordingly, many Canadian jurisdictions now have programs loosely based on EPR principles for products such as used tires, paints, hazardous and special wastes, beverage containers, and paper and packaging materials. More recently, as governments began to consider more complicated, value-laden products such as waste electronics and electrical equipment, major household appliances (white goods), and ELVs, they found that there were already a significant number of profitable private-sector businesses engaged in the collection and resource recovery of these end-of-life products. In situations where there is already market-driven recycling activity, building an EPR program does not mean building new market relationships from scratch. Rather, it means finding ways to harness and incentivize existing resource recovery markets to discharge producers’ end-of-life obligations. The fundamental strength of this market-based approach for ELVs is that it builds on an existing and competitive sector. Competition between ELV processors ensures the least cost to manufacturers and their consumers. Progressive ELV recovery targets drive increased processing volume, thus ensuring sufficient profitability for reinvestment and growth in a “green sector” of Canada’s economy. The Auto Recyclers of Canada are committed to a national vision for EPR predicated on high environmental standards and market competition. They will be working with OEM partners and provincial governments to ensure that the tried-and-true workings of free markets are brought to bear on the end-of-life management of vehicles in Canada.
D
epuis novembre 2009, l’Ontario et le Québec ont proposé de nouvelles politiques-cadres de réacheminement des déchets qui, si promulguées, obligeraient les fabricants d’équipement à assumer la responsabilité de la gestion environnementale de leurs véhicules hors d’usage (VHU), d’ici cinq ans. Il y a environ 15 ans, les gouvernements provinciaux on commencé à s’intéresser à la responsabilité élargie des producteurs (REP) afin de transférer le coût de gestion de matériaux en fin de vie utile, des contribuables aux fabricants. Ils ont alors concentré leurs efforts sur les déchets de consommation courante qui ne bénéficiaient pas de programmes de recyclage. Par conséquent, plusieurs juridictions ont maintenant des programmes similaires à la notion de REP pour des produits tels que les pneus usagés, la peinture, les déchets spéciaux et dangereux, les réceptacles de boisson, le papier et les matériaux d’emballage. Récemment, alors que les gouvernements ont commencé à s’intéresser aux produits plus complexes et plus coûteux, tels que les déchets électroniques et électriques, les gros appareils ménagers (les produits blancs) et les VHU, ils ont constaté que beaucoup d’entreprises privées oeuvraient déjà avec succès dans le ramassage et la récupération de ces produits en fin de vie utile. Dans les cas où il existe déjà des activités de recyclage profitables, créer un programme de REP ne veut pas dire recommencer à zéro. Mais plutôt trouver des moyens de mobiliser et de stimuler les marchés existants de récupération des ressources afin d’acquitter les fabricants de leurs obligations quant aux produits en fin de vie utile. La force fondamentale de cette approche basée sur le marché pour le traitement des VHU, est qu’elle se bâtit sur un secteur existant et à forte concurrence. Cette rivalité assure un moindre coût aux fabricants et aux consommateurs. Les cibles progressives de récupération des VHU ont fait augmenter le volume de produits à traiter, assurant ainsi une rentabilité suffisante pour réinvestir et croître dans un « secteur vert » de l’économie canadienne. Les recycleurs automobiles du Canada s’engagent à une vision nationale de REP fondée sur des normes environnementales rigoureuses et la concurrence. Ils travailleront avec les partenaires OEM et les gouvernements provinciaux afin que l’efficacité fonctionnelle des marchés libres porte ses fruits sur la bonne gestion des véhicules en fin de vie utile au Canada.

A Survey of Fluid Drainage Practices of Canadian Automotive Recylcers.
Un sondage sur les pratiques de drainage de fluides des recycleurs d’automobiles canadiens.
By/PAR Michael Hoeher, president of Recyclers Source Solutions Inc. > président de Recyclers Source Solutions Inc.
The Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) recently polled its members on their preferences, techniques, conditions and performance results in draining and disposing of fluids in ELVs. Individual results were as diverse as the facilities themselves, but the big picture gives some valuable insights into increasing efficiency in the drainage process and, significantly, reducing costs. Michael Hoeher takes an in-depth look at the survey.
Les RACs ont récemment interrogé leurs membres sur leurs préférences, les techniques, conditions et résultats fonctionnels obtenus en matière de drainage et d’élimination des fluides des VHU. Les réponses individuelles étaient très diverses mais la vue d’ensemble donne de précieuses indications sur comment améliorer l’efficacité du processus de drainage et considérablement réduire les coûts. Michael Hoeher regarde le sondage en détail.
ne of the desired outcomes of this survey revolved around an estimate on the amounts of liquids removed, their commercial value and the positive environmental impact of ARC members responsibly removing, collecting and disposing/ recycling the hazardous fluids in question. At first we look at which of the fluids contained in an end-oflife vehicle (ELV) are actually removed. In the field of fluid evacuation, fuels, oils (engine and transmission) and coolant are considered the “basic” and main fluids to be removed. They represent approximately 80–85 per cent of the total fluids present in an ELV. The remaining fluids are comprised of oils in differentials and torque converters, brake fluid, windshield wash and fluids in shock absorbers. Modern drainage technology such as SEDA’s suction-based tools are capable of evacuating up to 98 per cent of fluids residing in ELVs. The most apparent difference in extraction rate relates to fluids trapped in hard-to-access components such as torque converters (requires dismantling
’ un des résultats de cette étude était d’obtenir une estimation des quantités de liquides retirés, de leur valeur commerciale et de l’impact environnemental positif des membres du RAC quant à leur responsabilité concernant le retrait, le ramassage et l’élimination ou le recyclage de ces liquides dangereux. Tout d’abord, nous avons identifié quels étaient les fluides efficacement retirés des véhicules hors d’usage (VHU). Dans le domaine de l’évacuation des fluides, les carburants, les huiles (de moteur et de transmission) et les liquides de refroidissement sont considérés comme des fluides « de base » et sont ceux dont le retrait est le plus fréquent. Ils représentent environ 80 à 85 % de tous les fluides des VHU. Les autres fluides comprennent les huiles des différentiels et des convertisseurs de couple, les fluides de freins et d’amortisseurs de choc et le lave pare-brise. La technologie moderne de drainage comme les outils d’aspiration SEDA, sont capables d’évacuer jusqu’à 98 % des fluides contenus dans les VHU. La différence la plus apparente dans le temps d’extraction, est liée aux fluides qui sont dans les parties difficiles

the disposal with third-party service providers. Interesting that a number of recyclers commenced to filter the coolant, add additives and then sell coolant either wholesale or retail. One recycler states they receive $4 per gallon that way. The survey takes six fluids into consideration when determining the economic benefit potential. Gasoline, diesel, oil, coolant, windshield wash and Freon (only gas among the liquids) were listed as the available options. It came as a surprise how many recyclers either are not able to benefit from (due to geographic disadvantages or low volumes of generated liquids) or have not yet recognized its potential as a steady income generator/source of cost avoidance. More than half of the respondents (52 per cent) presently achieve either no gain at all or gain from less than two fluids. In terms of geographic distribution, Ontario and Alberta have the highest recycler count that record gains from all fluids, whereas British Columbia ranks highest by far for those that do not gain from any of the fluids. The difficult British Columbia topography relating to cost-effective transportation and the remoteness of some Ontario recyclers may contribute to about half of the counts inability to benefit. Oil alone generated $320,000 for the survey’s respondents and an estimated $3.8 million for all ARC members. Similarly, gasoline generated $430,000 for the survey’s respondents, and an estimated $5.92 million ARC wide.
Au moins 22% des recycleurs paient pour le service de ramassage. À noter qu’un certain nombre de recycleurs ont commencé à filtrer le liquide de refroidissement, y ajoutent des additifs et le revendent en gros ou au détail. Un recycleur dit qu’il peut ainsi le vendre à 4 $ le gallon. Le sondage porte sur six fluides pour déterminer le potentiel des retombées économiques. L’essence, le diesel, l’huile, le liquide de refroidissement et de lave pare-brise et le Fréon (le seul gaz à faire partie de ces liquides) étaient mis sur la liste des options disponibles. Il était surprenant de voir combien de recycleurs ne tirent pas profit de ces marchés, (soit pour raisons géographiques ou à cause du faible volume de liquides produits), soit qu’ils ne soient pas encore conscients des revenus potentiels et réguliers que génèrent ces activités ou qu’elles engendrent une réduction de coûts. Plus de la moitié des répondants (52 %) ne tirent, pour l’instant, aucun bénéfice de ces activités ou ne profitent des revenus que de moins de deux de ces fluides. En ce qui concerne la répartition géographique, l’Ontario et l’Alberta affichent le plus grand nombre de recycleurs qui tirent profit de ces fluides alors que la Colombie-Britannique se situe à l’opposé. La topographie de la Colombie-Britannique pouvant faire augmenter les frais de transport, et l’isolement de certains recycleurs de l’Ontario, contribuent peut-être à réduire de moitié le nombre de bénéficiaires. Pour les participants au sondage, l’huile, à elle seule, a rapporté $320 000 et quelque $3,8 millions à l’ensemble des membres du RAC. L’essence a également rapporté $430 000 et environ $5.92millions pour les membres de RAC.

he Green Parts marketing program, created by the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), is expanding throughout Canada and the US. The association recently reached a sublicensing deal with Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) that will allow them to utilize the Green Parts logo on their material and gain access to Green Parts sales material such as the brochures and posters. OARA has a similar sublicensing deal in the works with the US-based Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). OARA has also struck an arrangement with the Automotive Aftermarket Retailers of Ontario (AARO) to co-brand 1,000 display units and deploy them to AARO members, who represent the mechanical repair sector. OARA also just completed a deal with FIX Auto, CSN, Assured Automotive and CARSTAR to distributed the Green Parts material co-branded with the their logos. As a part of OARA’s internal efforts, each member now has 50 Green Parts display units to distribute through their communities with their customers. OARA began the project last year with the goal of educating customers on the environmental and cost-savings benefits of using recycled parts. To aid them, they created a Green Parts logo, brochure, poster and trade show banner. The intent was to differentiate their products and to catch the greater green wave that is flowing through the global community. “With the wider adoption of the Green Parts marketing material, and the reality that Green Parts do save money and the environment, this should translate in to greener returns for auto recyclers and their customers,” said Steve Fletcher, OARA executive director. “We really want to stress that this is as much for our customers as it is for us—they need to derive a benefit for us to thrive and prosper.” Canadian Auto Recyclers 2010
Le programme de promotion du recyclage de pièces d’OARA s’élance hors de l’Ontario.
L
e programme de promotion Green Parts, créé par l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), est en pleine expansion au Canada et aux États-Unis. L’Association a récemment conclu un accord de sous cession de droits de licence avec les Recycleurs d’automobiles du Canada (RAC) qui lui permettra d’utiliser le logo Green Parts sur son matériel et d’avoir accès au matériel publicitaire de Green Parts. L’OARA a un accord semblable avec la société américaine Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). L’OARA a également conclu un accord avec l’Automotive Aftermarket Retailers of Ontario (AARO) en vue du comarquage de 1 000 dispositifs d’étalage et de sa distribution à ses membres dans le secteur de la réparation mécanique. L’OARA vient juste de conclure une entente avec Fix Auto, CSN, Assured Automotive et CARSTAR pour distribuer les produits comarqués Green Parts qui arboreront leurs logos. Dans le cadre des efforts internes de l’OARA, chaque membre a maintenant 50 dispositifs d’étalage Green Parts à distribuer aux clients de sa communautés. Le projet commencé l’année dernière par l’OARA a pour but d’éduquer les clients sur les bénéfices environnementaux et économiques de l’utilisation de pièces recyclées. L’OARA a donc créé un logo Green Parts, une brochure, une affiche et une bannière. L’intention était de différencier ses produits et de profiter de la vague environnementale qui gagne la planète. « Avec une plus grande adoption du matériel de promotion de Green Parts et la notion acceptée que « les pièces vertes » sont bénéfique tant pour l’environnement que l’économie, ceci devrait engendrer de meilleurs résultats pour les recycleurs et leurs clients » dit Steve Fletcher,directeur général de l’OARA . « Nous voulons vraiment insister sur le fait que le résultat de ce travail est tant à l’avantage de nos clients qu’au nôtre, car ce n’est que dans la mesure où ces derniers en tireront profit que nous pourrons continuer à prospérer. »

ne of the first items listed on JustParts.com was a speedometer cluster from a ’71 Ford F150. The recycler who listed it translated the part’s hand-written inventory tag to JustParts’ interface, though I can’t imagine with much hope—the part had been on the shelf for 30 years without a buyer. Around the same time, a Texas buyer was on a similarly frustrating quest—he’d been looking for the truck part for years without any luck. He punched the OEM number into Google—I can’t imagine with much hope—and got two hits for JustParts.com: a connection made against the odds. “So out of anyone on the Internet, no one had that number, or Google wasn’t finding that number,” says JustParts CEO Michael Racco. “Both JustParts.com listings came up, and that was it.” “...That was after only a couple of weeks and we said, ‘we’ve got something going here.’” Today, JustParts has about 1.5 million new and used parts and expects to have at least three million by this summer. They’ve been online for two years, focusing on finding solutions that are both specific to cars and accessible for users. They’ve also spent a lot of time making the site easier to use for recyclers, big and small, which is something CEO Michael Racco knows a thing or two about. “I grew up in a family recycling business,” Racco says. “[I was there] since I was a kid.” He left the family business—Thunder Bay Auto Parts—to do a degree in commerce and then pursued a career in software development. After two years he returned to the family business at Thunder Bay Auto Parts. “We looked at our business because we knew it inside and out. The automotive business is our lives.” “Michael and the crew there, they’ve been able to customize things to adapt to how we do business,” says Craig Halverson of Nordstrom’s Auto Salvage, which currently lists over 35,000 parts on the site. “And they’ve always been looking for our input on how to make their system better.”

ne des premières pièces à figurer sur le site JustParts.com fut un compteur de vitesse pour une Ford F150 de 1971. Le recycleur avait pris la peine de transposer l’étiquette du compteur de vitesse, rédigée à la main, sur l’interface de Just-Parts, sans trop d’espoir, j’imagine car la pièce était sur une étagère depuis 30 ans, sans acheteur. Au même moment, un acheteur du Texas se trouvait dans une situation toute aussi frustrante : il cherchait, en vain, cette pièce de camion depuis des années. Il a alors décidé de taper sur Google, le numéro de pièce OEM – j’imagine encore sans trop d’espoir, et voilà que, surprise! deux options sont apparues chez, JustParts. Une connexion inespérée. « Donc parmi tous les usagers de l’Internet, personne n’avait ce numéro,ou Google ne pouvait tout simplement pas le retracer », dit Michael Racco, le PDG de JustParts. « Mais les deux entrées de JustParts sont apparues, un point c’est tout. » « …C’était seulement après à peine deux semaines, nous nous sommes alors dit : nous avons ici un bon filon. » Aujourd’hui, JustParts dispose d’environ 1,5 million de pièces neuves et usagées et s’attend à en posséder au moins trois millions d’ici l’été. Ils sont en ligne depuis deux ans et leur cible est de résoudre les problèmes de véhicules tout en étant accessibles aux utilisateurs. Le site est aujourd’hui facile d’accès pour les recycleurs de toutes tailles, un domaine que le PDG, Michael Racco, connaît très bien. « J’ai grandi dans une entreprise de recyclage familiale, explique Racco, [ j’y étais] depuis tout petit ». Il a quitté l’entreprise familiale Thunder Bay Auto Parts, afin d’obtenir un diplôme en commerce et a ensuite fait carrière dans le développement de logiciels. Deux ans plus tard, il réintégrait l’entreprise familiale Thunder Bay Auto Parts. « Nous nous sommes ainsi penchés sur notre entreprise car nous connaissons ce métier sous tous ses aspects; le secteur de l’automobile est notre vie. » « Michael et son équipe ont pu adapter l’entreprise à toutes les requêtes de notre manière de procéder» dit Craig Halverson, de Nordstrom’s AutoSalvage, qui actuellement affiche plus de 35 000 pièces sur le site. « Et ils sont toujours en quête de nos suggestions afin de toujours améliorer leur système ».

orld production of crude steel, primary aluminum and refined copper is in the order of 1.3 billion tonnes, 40 million tonnes and 20 million tonnes respectively. Canada ranks 16th in steel, 3rd in aluminium, 10th in copper smelting and 8th in copper refining. It accomplishes this production with some 17 steel plants, 15 or so primary and secondary non-ferrous smelters and refineries and about 145 foundries. However, often unknown is that approximately 45 per cent of world steel production comes from recycled material. For aluminium, it is about 32 per cent and copper is around 43 per cent scrap based. Although statistics for the Canadian recycling industry are difficult to find, a best estimate today suggests that some 2000 scrap metal recycling companies process between 16 to 18 million tonnes of scrap annually, roughly split 80 per cent ferrous and 20 per cent combined non-ferrous. Back in 1941, when scrap materials were considered “strategic materials,” the Canadian Government asked the Canadian recycling sector to come together into a coordinated force to collect and process secondary materials to help the war effort. The Canadian Secondary Materials Association, renamed the Canadian Association of Recycling Industries (CARI) in 1973, was the product of this request. Today CARI is comprised of 250 active and associate member companies. The active members range from individual scrap collectors to technologically advanced, capital-intensive processing plants engaged in the recycling of all commodities, but focussed on metal recycling. Even the very smallest companies are not independent businesses. They are part of the worldwide commodity sector and are driven by basic supply and demand. The fundamental purpose or mission of CARI is the promotion of the optimal net economic and social impacts from commercial recycling

a production mondiale d’acier brut, d’aluminium primaire et de cuivre affiné est de l’ordre de 1,3 milliard de tonnes, de 40 millions de tonnes et de 20 millions de tonnes respectivement. Le Canada se classe au 16e rang des producteurs en ce qui touche l’acier, au 3e pour l’aluminium, au 10e pour la fonte de cuivre et au 8e rang pour l’affinage du cuivre. Cette production est réalisée dans quelque 17 aciéries, une quinzaine d’usines de fusion et d’affinage des métaux non ferreux primaires et secondaires, ainsi que dans environ 145 fonderies. Toutefois, on ignore souvent qu’environ 45 % de la production mondiale d’acier est faite à partir de métal recyclé. Dans le cas de l’aluminium, ce taux est d’environ 32 % alors qu’il est de 43 % pour le cuivre. Même s’il est difficile de trouver des données statistiques sur les industries canadiennes du recyclage, on estime que quelque 2 000 entreprises de recyclage de rebuts métalliques transforment annuellement entre 16 et 18 millions de tonnes de métaux, dont environ 80 % de métaux ferreux et 20 % de métaux non ferreux. En 1941, alors que l’on considérait les rebuts métalliques comme des « matériaux stratégiques », le gouvernement du Canada demandait au secteur canadien du recyclage de se concerter afin de recueillir et transformer les matières secondaires en vue de participer à l’effort de guerre. L’Association canadienne des matières secondaires, renommée en 1973 l’Association canadienne des industries du recyclage (ACIR), est issue de cette initiative. Aujourd’hui, l’ACIR compte 250 membres actifs. Ces membres comprennent aussi bien des récupérateurs individuels de rebuts métalliques que des grandes entreprises fortement capitalisées qui utilisent des technologies avancées pour recycler toutes sortes de matières mais qui sont principalement axées sur le recyclage des métaux. Même les entreprises les plus petites ne sont pas complètement indépendantes. En effet, elles font partie de l’industrie mondiale des matières premières et elles sont régies par la loi de l’offre et la demande. L’objectif fondamental, ou la mission, de l’ACIR est de promouvoir l’apport optimal net, sur les plans économique et social, des activités commerciales de recyclage. Elle s’acquitte de cette mission en défendant les intérêts de l’industrie aux

activities. It accomplishes this mission by advocating the interests of the industry locally, nationally and internationally. Every activity that CARI undertakes is designed to reduce operating costs and/ or expand markets—either directly or indirectly— for its members. On the advocacy side, metal theft remains a major issue for the industry even with the economic downturn in 2009. Therefore, CARI continues to work with MicroDotDNA Technology Canada, the police, Canadian Crime Stoppers Association and service providers in “Operation Hands Off.” Additionally, CARI and the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries completed and jointly operate a web-based metal theft bulletin for the North American region. These programs demonstrate that the scrap industry is part of the solution not part of the problem of scrap metal theft. An increasing thrust of many governments is that of product stewardship whereby product manufacturers are held responsible for the total life-cycle costs of their products, including final disposal. The CARI board of directors approved a formal policy in 2009 to support the concept, but with conditions that should enhance the recycling sector. In particular, programs need to focus on the design of products, which is a concept supported by CARI for many years and conducted by sectors such as the vehicle manufacturers. Although automobiles today are the second most recycled product (after lead acid batteries) with a recovery rate greater than 90 per cent, every major vehicle manufacturer has some type of design and disassembly program related to recycling. In the US they have the Vehicle Recycling Partnership, a joint program with GM, Ford, Chrysler and participants from scrap recyclers, parts suppliers, the dismantling industry, universities and government laboratories. They are looking at such vehicle-design concepts as easing the removal of automobile parts, eliminating non-recyclable or hazardous materials and reducing the number of fasteners. CARI also continues to support Switch Out, a national program designed to remove, collect and manage mercury-containing convenience lighting switches and anti-lock braking system sensor modules in end-of-life vehicles before they are flattened, shredded and recycled into new steel. The program is funded and supported by Canada’s steel and automotive industries through the Canadian Steel Producers Association and the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, and currently works in partnership with the Automotive Recyclers of Canada and CARI. CARI and its members continue to promote the recycling industries and to educate society about the sector’s real benefits. When completely understood and supported, the recycling industry will thrive, but society will benefit even more when the benefits of recycling are maximized.
niveaux local, national et international. Toutes les activités entreprises par l’ACIR sont conçues pour réduire les coûts d’exploitation et accroître directement ou indirectement les marchés pour ses membres. Du point de vue de la défense des intérêts de l’industrie, le phénomène des vols de métaux demeure une question importante, même en tenant compte du ralentissement économique de l’année 2009. Par conséquent, l’ACIR continue de collaborer avec l’entreprise MicroDotDNA Technologie Canada, les services policiers, l’Association canadienne d’échec au crime et les fournisseurs de services du programme « Operation Hands Off ». De plus, l’ACIR et l’ISRI offrent conjointement un bulletin électronique sur les vols de métaux pour l’ensemble de l’Amérique du Nord. Ces programmes démontrent que l’industrie de la ferraille fait partie de la solution et non du problème en ce qui a trait aux vols de métaux. On observe une nouvelle tendance au sein des gouvernements alors qu’ils sont nombreux à se pencher sur la question de la gestion étendue des produits, en vertu de laquelle les fabricants deviendraient responsables des coûts reliés à leurs produits durant l’ensemble de leur cycle de vie, y compris leurs coûts d’élimination. En 2009, le conseil d’administration de l’ACIR a adopté une politique en faveur de la gestion étendue des fabricants, tout en y rattachant certaines conditions favorisant le secteur du recyclage. En particulier, ces programmes devraient mettre l’accent sur la conception de produits en vue de leur recyclage, un concept qu’appuie l’ACIR depuis plusieurs années et que promeuvent d’autres secteurs industriels comme celui de la fabrication d’automobiles. Bien que, de nos jours, les automobiles soient le deuxième produit le plus recyclé (après les batteries au plomb-acide) avec un taux de récupération de plus de 90 %, tous les grands fabricants d’automobiles se sont dotés d’un programme de conception et de désassemblage visant le recyclage. Les États-Unis ont mis sur pied un programme conjoint, le Partenariat pour le recyclage des véhicules, en collaboration avec GM, Ford, Chrysler ainsi qu’avec des recycleurs de ferraille, des fournisseurs de pièces, des industries de désassemblage, des universités et des laboratoires gouvernementaux. On y étudie des approches visant la conception même des véhicules, comme celles permettant de faciliter le désassemblage des pièces d’automobiles, l’élimination des matières non recyclables ou dangereuses ainsi que la réduction du nombre d’attaches. L’ACIR continue également à soutenir le programme national ÉlimiMercure, lequel vise l’élimination, la collecte et la gestion des interrupteurs d’éclairage d’appoint au mercure ainsi que des modules de capteurs des systèmes de freinage antiblocage des véhicules en fin de vie utile avant qu’ils ne soient aplatis, déchiquetés et recyclés pour en faire de l’acier neuf. Ce programme est financé et soutenu par les industries de l’acier et de l’automobile du Canada par l’entremise de l’Association canadienne des producteurs d’acier et de l’Association canadienne des constructeurs de véhicules, en partenariat avec l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada et l’ACIR. L’ACIR et ses membres continuent de faire la promotion des industries du recyclage et d’informer la population des avantages tangibles qu’apporte ce secteur. Lorsqu’il sera complètement compris et appuyé, le secteur du recyclage pourra prospérer mais la société en profitera encore davantage quand les bienfaits du recyclage seront maximisés.

le mot de la fin
Raising the Bar
Élever la barre toujours
Thanks to professional recyclers for letting us tell your stories.
Merci aux recycleurs professionnels de nous avoir permis de raconter vos histoires.
Even Higher plus haut
J
ust when I think I’ve seen the reaches of the industry’s generosity and concern for the environment, they surprise me again. The automotive recycling industry has raised the bar even higher this year. Looking in the rear-view mirror at when we started Canadian Auto Recyclers, it’s been an incredible four years watching this industry change and grow. Having the chance to interact with the different provinces and watch them work has been incredible. They talk about building the future, and boy they’ve done it. We’ve had a lot of successes this year. The Switch Out program has had a huge impact on safely disposing of mercury from ELVs. Retire Your Ride has exceeded even the highest expectations. And the Green Parts program has worked to get brochures on counters everywhere to spread the industry’s message and espouse the environmental and costsaving benefits of using recycled parts. That’s only scratching the surface of the good we’ve seen from recyclers in the course of putting together CAR 2010. What always impresses and surprises me most is how every recycler we deal with consistently takes the individual initiative to help the environment. It demonstrates to me that what we cover in CAR isn’t just a coordinated effort—it’s an organic movement from an extremely caring community. I’m so proud to work with people who are so willing to lead the change. We do our best to spread the word, but the truth is, the progressive recyclers of Canada make it easy for us—it’s a pleasure to cover a community we respect so deeply. As they continue doing their good work, we’ll be right there beside them to help make sure everyone hears about it, so stay tuned.

lors que je croyais tout connaître de la générosité des gens de l’industrie et de leur souci de l’environnement, voilà qu’ils me surprennent à nouveau. Le monde du recyclage automobile a placé la barre encore plus haut cette année. En regardant par le rétroviseur les débuts du Canadian Auto Recyclers, on ne peut que constater que ces quatre années ont été marquées d’un grand vent de changement dans l’industrie. Ayant la chance d’interagir avec les intervenants des différentes provinces, j’ai pu apprécier le travail colossal accompli dans l’objectif de construire l’avenir. Nos projets de l'année dernière ont remporté un vif succès. Le programme ÉlimiMercure a eu un impact considérable sur l’élimination sans danger du mercure provenant des VHU. Adieu bazou a même dépassé les attentes les plus élevées. Des brochures ont été produites par le programme Green Parts et mises à la disposition de la clientèle des centres de recyclage pour sensibiliser celle-ci aux enjeux de l’industrie et aux avantages environnementaux et économiques d’utiliser des pièces recyclées dans la réparation automobile. Ces réalisations ne constituent qu’une infime partie de ce que nous avons pu constater chez les recycleurs d'automobiles dans la mise en commun de leurs efforts vers CAR 2010. Ce qui m’impressionne toujours et me surprend le plus, c’est la façon dont chaque entreprise de recyclage avec laquelle nous traitons s’est investie personnellement dans la protection de l’environnement. Cela me démontre que ce que nous couvrons dans CAR n’est pas seulement un effort coordonné, mais un mouvement organique d’une communauté très solidaire. Je suis tellement fière de travailler avec des gens aussi désireux d’amener le changement. Nous faisons de notre mieux pour diffuser l’information, mais ce sont, en réalité, les recycleurs progressistes du Canada qui nous facilitent la tâche. Assurer la couverture des événements d’une communauté que nous respectons profondément nous rend très fiers. Notre objectif est de demeurer à ses côtés pour l’épauler dans ses efforts et lui fournir les outils d’information qui la concerne. Alors, restez à l’écoute.
