On the communications side, our members benefit from expert guidance on inquiries, breaking industry news delivered daily through our invaluable eBulletin, access to The Forwarder online and print magazine distributed twice per year, as well as press releases and Special eBulletins on urgent news. The Education pillar has formed the cornerstone of CIFFA since the association’s inception, and has evolved continuously year-over-year with enhanced, improved and expanded offerings. This is in line with our core belief that education is a journey and not a one-time event. Our TraversEd Limited, a wholly-owned for- profit entity whose sole focus is on the delivery of quality education products for the logistics industry, will continue to deliver timely, key, quality training to colleges across Canada, in addition to international educational institutions and other trade associations. These programs have been updated and content localized, with on-demand and virtual offerings to support remote learning. CIFFA will gradually facilitate the shift towards competency-based dangerous goods training, to provide a workforce skilled for the safe and efficient transport of dangerous goods by air. Competency based training (CBT) is geared to more than learning how a task is performed, it requires evaluation that the task can be completed with 100% effectiveness in the real world. This will be achieved through virtual class instruction, or asynchronous online lessons, and on-site observations by qualified evaluators. Furthermore, CIFFA Cares, our registered charity, contributed over $55,000 to support local and global causes, as well as to educational partners, assisting students in pursuing their education through scholarships and grants. You, as members, have an important role to play in providing your input towards these goals. Letting us know of your daily challenges, participating in various CIFFA committees and providing an interchange of ideas, input and collaboration will all contribute to our results- driven process. At CIFFA, communication is always key. Do not hesitate to reach out to us at the Secretariat office with any questions, concerns, and input on how we can assist you. While the year ahead will undoubtably have more unexpected challenges for the global supply chain, we are a resilient industry, and working together we will find success no matter the situation. Rest assured, your association is ready to assist and to partner with you for whatever comes next. We thank you for your valued support and for being a key part of the CIFFA community.
