Story by ALLISON ROGERS

On March 31 and April 1, the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) hosted its annual Convention and Trade Show, where representatives from across the aftermarket gathered for two days of learning, networking and good times.

While the previous day’s discussion centred around electric vehicles at the Automotive Recyclers of Canada’s EV Roundtable, OARA focused on other pressing topics in the auto recycling industry.

“We’d love to talk about EVs [at OARA]—there are just too many other things on our plates!” said OARA executive director, Steve Fletcher.

Topics of conversation largely included staffing, the consumer perception of the industry, trends in the auto recycling and insurance sectors, the future of auto recycling, sales, e-commerce and more.
