Each year, the RVDA of Canada and Canadian regional RVDAs, in conjunction with RV Lifestyle Magazine and RV Dealer News, invite nominations from across Canada for the Canadian RV Dealer of the Year Award.
For 2024, five distinguished Canadian RV dealers have been nominated for this honor, and we are pleased to introduce them here.
- Richard Tache, Earlton RV Centre, Earlton, ON
Keith Barrick, Keith’s Trailer Sales, Orton, ON - Marco & Mylaine Boudreault, E. Boudreault VR, Ancienne-Lorette, QC
- Kyle & Jeff Redmond, Bucars RV Centre, Balzac, AB
- Murray Sullivan, SMP RV, Huston, BC
The award is dedicated to the memory of the late Walt Paseska, founder of Walt’s Trailer Sales in Headingly, Manitoba, in recognition of his many years of commitment and dedication to the RV industry, the RV experience, and the community at large.
Established in 1989 by RV Lifestyle Magazine and RV Dealer News, this award has been presented each year to Canadian RV dealers who share Walt Paseska’s legendary enthusiasm and commitment to the industry; individuals who have been leaders in the RVDA movement either regionally or at a provincial or national level; who have exhibited a long-term dedication to the RV community; and who have made substantial contributions to their communities through charitable or philanthropic activities.
Each of the provincial RVDA organizations are encouraged to present their nominees to the RVDA of Canada selection committee, who evaluate the nominees and select the Canadian Dealer of the Year.
The documentation for the nominees is submitted to the RVDA of Canada selection committee, which consists of five previous Canadian RV Dealer of the Year winners and representatives from the RVDA of Canada and RV Lifestyle Magazine, the founding sponsor of the Award.
This year’s selection committee is comprised of five previous Canadian RV Dealers of the Year: Bruce Marsh, Cape Breton Trailer Sales, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; Al Robinson, Great Canadian RV, Peterborough, Ontario; Andy Thomson, Can-Am RV Centre, London, Ontario; Roland Goreski, Campkin’s RV Centre, Whitby, Ontario; and Jason Friesen, Voyager RV, Winfield, BC.
The selection committee operates under the supervision of Eleonore Hamm, President, RVDA of Canada, with assistance from Melanie Taylor, Associate Publisher of RV Lifestyle Magazine and RV Dealer News, who will present the Award at the official ceremony at the RVDA of Canada annual general meeting, to be held during the RVDA Convention/Expo in Las Vegas, on November13.
