For those unfamiliar, the Canadian Rental Association has regional divisions that hold local meetings at party rental, location services for the film industry, general tool, equipment and construction equipment rentals that allow Ontario rental centre members to meet, network and learn new skills. It is not only a great chance to meet like-minded individuals but also a chance to hear how other rental companies in a non-competitive market structure, organize and run their business.

This month’s meeting takes place on Wednesday November 16 at Whites LES 800 Islington Ave, Toronto, ON M8Z 6A1.

The evening starts off with a tour and social hour at Whites LES from 5-6PM, followed by Dinner at 6pm and then a slideshow and presentation on Whites LES at 7PM. If you’re in need of overnight accommodations, the CRA Ontario board has reserved a block of rooms at the Stay Inn Etobicoke located on 560 Evans Avenue, Toronto, ON M8W 2W1.

I know from past experience these meetings are a great way to meet new people and learn something new about the rental industry. From a rental centre point of view, you may learn the way another company does something that you never thought of before and can take back to implement in your business.

Exciting news everyone! We’re moving on up (to a new warehouse that is). We’re packing up our Mississauga Head Office and warehouse and moving to a new location that will give us more space to grow.

Because we’re growing like crazy.

We needed more elbow room and a larger warehouse gives us the flexibility needed for continued growth over the next several years. Even more important than that, a larger warehouse equates to more event equipment – of the products we already offer as well as the ability to offer even more relevant products to the party rental, foodservice and hospitality sectors.

Don’t worry, we’re not moving too far away. Our new location is only about a 5 minute drive from our current warehouse (directions from old location to new location here) – and only one additional exit off Highway 427. Not only is it close, it’s a lot bigger which is perfect for a growing organization.

As of December 19th, 2016 we will have moved to our new warehouse location at:

3544 Nashua Drive
Mississauga, ON L4V 1L4

Moving will begin December 1st to the new location. We will be open for business during this time and working out of our current warehouse at 3280 Caroga Drive, Mississauga, ON. If you’re planning to pick up product or visit our showroom at 3280 Caroga Drive, please call ahead first to 1-800-827-8953 or 905-795-1667 to ensure the product is not already at the new warehouse. We will do our best to make this move as painless for you as possible.

Exciting Things to Come — Thanks To You

The best part of growing, moving, and making announcements like this is knowing it’s all possible because you trust us to provide your company with high quality event equipment. Knowing you stake your company’s reputation (in part) with the products we provide you is always humbling, but a move like this puts the remarkable events of our company’s history into the forefront of our minds. We’re grateful for your continued trust and business and look forward to seeing you at our new warehouse sometime soon!

As 2015 recently came to a close, I decided to pause and reflect on this year’s blog content. Too often we focus solely on the future and don’t take stock in the past. Understanding what was most popular, helps us to strategize new kinds of content that might strike a chord with readers.

To wrap it up, here are the most popular posts of National Event Supply’s Blog from 2015 based on unique views.

Creativity is a fleeting thing – and sometimes when all you’re doing is making decisions, it can be hard to have enough brain power to come up with creative ideas. Working in an industry filled with creative professionals – in the form of chefs and event planners as an example – having simple tips to spark your creative juices helps to keep yourself challenged. Here’s an infographic from Shout Advertising on simple ideas and tips to use to stimulate your creative process and break yourself of a rut.

I’ve always been a talker – I used to talk for my younger brother all the time and it’s a family joke that they didn’t hear him speak until high school because of me. What I am guilty of not doing is listening more. I’ve been pumping out articles here on our blog without asking for feedback from you, so now’s your chance to speak up!

Give your feedback on National Event Supply’s Blog!
