CALGARY — As the retail home improvement industry descended on Calgary last week for the Buying Show of the Western Retail Lumber Association, a number of companies used the occasion to host events of their own. Building materials wholesaler Taiga hosted a customer appreciation event at a downtown hotel, drawing customers and reps to network. (Shown here: Trent Balog, President & CEO at Taiga Building Products; with Alex Yakovyshenko, general manager of Haney’s Building Supplies in Vancouver, and 2017 ORA Young Retailer Award winner.)
