Ottawa, ON (June 15, 2026) — Trucking HR Canada (THRC) has launched a new National Workforce Strategy Council, bringing together senior leaders from transportation and logistics associations across Canada to provide strategic guidance on workforce initiatives that strengthen the industry’s future.
The Council will provide insight and sector leadership to support THRC’s workforce-related projects and programs focused on labour market intelligence, skills development, training, and HR supports for employers.
