May 19, 2023  By  Jennifer Ellson



The B.C. Saw Filers Association Convention and Trade Show is back in Kamloops, B.C. this year on May 26-27. Returning to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, a slew of topics will be discussed at the convention.

“Speakers will talk about innovative tools, methods and ideas pertinent to saw filing,” BCSFA vice-president Scott Courtney tells CFI.

“In the afternoons the trade show will open, and vendors will be welcome to showcase their new equipment, tools and services. Friday evening will have a dinner, as well as entertainment in the form of a comedian followed by a live band,” Courtney explains. 

“It’s the perfect blend of education, business and socialization!”
