The ARA Celebrates 70 Years of Legacy and Leadership
Members and industry partners are invited to attend this very special event this fall.
We have some exciting news! The Automotive Retailers Association (ARA) is thrilled to announce that from September 30 to October 2, we
will be celebrating 70 years of excellence in the automotive industry. We are excited to host this milestone event for our members through the retrospective theme, Through the Decades. So dust off your golf and dancing shoes and come celebrate the past, present, and future with us at the Hilton Whistler Resort and Spa in Whistler, B.C.
The ARA’s 70th Anniversary Celebration and AGM will commemorate the ARA’s many
years of industry advocacy and leadership. The event will connect and engage members, peers, and associates (both old and new) while demonstrating just how much we appreciate you and our community. This unique event will include three incredible days of fun, networking, and inspiration. And yes, even leaders need to play! So let’s honour and celebrate our association’s accomplishments as we continue to drive industry excellence together.
We would like to thank our members for being the change that the industry needs to evolve and thrive, and thank you for supporting the association that supports you. The ARA has
a proud history of representing the collective interests of its members. At the AGM, we will continue to explore all the ways that we can support each other. We encourage you to come out and share this unique opportunity to be a part of the ARA’s special legacy as it continues to support automotive retailers in B.C. and beyond.

Golf Charity
Fundraiser
The weekend kicks off Friday morning with the ARA’s traditional and ever-popular golf tournament. Our golfers will compete against each other at the stunning Whistler Golf and Country Club, which is conveniently located near the Hilton Whistler Resort and Spa. All proceeds from the golf ticket sales will be donated to the Automotive Retailers Foundation Inc. (ARFI) to support automotive students in their career aspirations.
Chairman’s Reception
& Casino Night
Friday afternoon and evening will offer a variety of entertaining events and activities. Don't miss the chairman’s speech honouring past presidents and the association’s many accomplishments. A casino night will follow, and for those who will not fall for roulette or blackjack, we invite you to enjoy our accompanying program, a retrospective celebrating the ARA’s 70-year legacy while anticipating the future. Signature drinks will be served.
