President

Dear Members,


As we begin 2023, I am honored to serve as your President of the Heavy Equipment and Aggregate Truckers Association of Manitoba. Our association has grown to become a leading voice in the industry, and I am excited to continue to work alongside each and every one of you to further our mission.

Our association has always been committed to representing the interests of heavy equipment companies and aggregate truckers across the province, and we remain focused on growing our membership. This year, we will be working to expand our reach, and I encourage each of you to invite colleagues and peers to join our organization. By increasing our membership, we will strengthen our ability to advocate for the industry and provide more benefits and resources to our members.
As we continue to grow, it is essential that we prioritize training and education for our members. Our industry is constantly evolving, and it is important that we stay up to date on the latest trends, regulations, and best practices. That is why we will be working to enhance our current training programs and provide new educational opportunities for our members. Whether it be safety training, new technology, or industry-specific knowledge, we are committed to ensuring that our members have the resources they need to succeed.

Building strong relationships with stakeholders is also a key priority for our association in 2023. By working closely with government officials, community leaders, and industry partners, we can better advocate for our members and ensure that their voices are heard. We will be working to develop new partnerships and strengthen existing ones to help us achieve our goals.
As we move forward, I want to encourage each and every one of you to get involved with our association. Attend our events, participate in our committee’s, and share your thoughts and ideas with us. Together, we can continue to grow and strengthen our industry, and ensure that the voice of HEAT Association is heard loud and clear. Thank you for your ongoing support, and I look forward to working with each of you in the year ahead.

Martin Gurtman
