Two major Canadian supply chain organisations have formalised a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening collaboration, professional development and industry engagement across Western Canada, according to a recent announcement from sector leaders.
Under the agreement, the two associations — both focused on advancing the supply chain and logistics profession — will expand their reach and coordinate on joint events, education programmes and initiatives for members in Alberta, British Columbia and neighbouring regions. The partnership builds on a history of previous cooperation and reflects shared priorities around workforce development and industry excellence.
Officials said Western Canada is a key logistics and trade hub within the national supply chain, and the alliance will help increase resources and opportunities for local professionals. By combining networks and expertise, the organisations aim to enhance knowledge sharing, promote best practices, and better align training and certification offerings with industry needs.
The announcement follows a series of industry events in Western Canada, including logistics briefings and regional gatherings, and precedes the planned national logistics conference scheduled for the region in mid-2026. Leaders from both groups emphasised the importance of professional growth and sector resilience in the face of evolving trade and economic dynamics.
Stakeholders say the partnership could help fortify Canada’s supply chain community by supporting career advancement, expanding professional networks, and addressing regional challenges affecting freight movement and logistics operations.
