ABSDA honours Dingwell for lifetime achievement

HALIFAX–Last evening at the ABSDA annual dinner, the association honoured Dave Dingwell. Dingwell, who has been in the industry for 50 years and is now TIMBER MART’s regional director of member services for Atlantic Canada, was the association’s first-ever recipient of the ABSDA industry achievement award. In presenting him the award, TIMBER MART President Bernie Owens noted that over his career, Dingwell has been both a competitor and a supplier to him, and now, Owens says, he is lucky to include Dingwell as a member of his team. Dingwell was appreciative of the honour, and joked that he would treasure it “almost as much as my Bobby Orr plaque.”
