Provincial Towing Association (Ontario) Inc., Bracebridge, ON

The Provincial Towing Association (Ontario) Inc. was an offshoot of the old Ontario Towing and Recovery Association. The Provincial Towing Association (Ontario) Inc., (PTAO) was incorporated in 1998 and was run by a group of dedicated but busy volunteers. To their credit the ensuing Board of Directors managed to keep the Tow Shows going and get involved in some of the issues that confronted the industry as they became concerns. There was no head office or staff to head up the day to day issues. This very fact added a lot of pressure and consumed a lot of the Board of Directors’ valuable time. In 2003-2004 a new Board was elected and during several board meetings a plan was put into place to hire a part time Executive Director to re-organize the Association, clean up any issues, produce a business plan and deal with the day to day issues as they presented themselves.
