HRAI gathering in Ottawa for 54th AGM

The Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) will host its 54th annual general meeting and conference up in Ottawa.

From Sept. 18 to 20 at the Westin Ottawa Hotel, Ottawa, Ont, attendees can attend a series of panels, presentations, and networking events designed to reconnect and realign the HVAC/R industry, according to HRAI.

“It’s about time we brought the industry together in person again,” said Sandy Macleod, HRAI president and CEO. “If you’re a contractor looking to get your name in front of potential business partners, learn what’s coming for our industry, and have some fun in the process, this is the place to be.”

Highlights on the agenda include a twopart session on “HVAC/R Climate Change Story: Technology, Transition, and Talent,” as well as a technology and refrigerant panel, an IAQ forum, and a visit to Queen’s Park, where attendees will sit in on the parliament’s question period.

As part of the networking activities, the conference will feature a kick-off social at the Westin’s Twenty-Two Facility, gala dinner at the Parliament Banquet Facility, Rideau Canal and Ottawa River boat trip, brewery, museum, and food market tours, coffee crawl, electric/regular bike excursions, historic walking tours, a trip to the aerial park and mountain coaster, and lastly, the CanmetEnergy facility tour.

“The big focus of this year’s show is getting the industry back together after years of virtual meetings and events,” said MacLeod in a press release. “We want to make that reunion special by planning a variety of ways to enjoy Ottawa and reconnect with peers.”
