Here is an exciting opportunity to join the APAS team

It’s often said railroads are the backbone of the economy. This week in Colorado, I got to see how the @evrazna team makes the pieces of #steel vertebra - 80 feet at a time.

Packed house at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ 2019 Convention & Trade Show! #SARMAnnual2019

Our trade show is coming up April 18th in Saskatoon. For suppliers, a membership in the Association provides you with a table at the trade show. It’s a great time to join, as NTCF funding applications are being approved and our railways will need help building infrastructure.

Shippers (including producers) can call 1-877-850-7148 whenever they have an issue with rail service. Anonymous - but could really help the CTA keep on top of new issues/problems before they become 13/14 or 17/18. @AgProducersSK @APASGenMgr #saskag #cndpoli #agriculture #saskag
