AMTA Open House - November 20, 2009

For the past five years the Alberta Motor Transport Association has dreamed about securing its own facility to better serve members. That dream has become  a reality.

 The new facility boasts close to 17,000 square feet of space, and features a drive-in truck bay to accommodate a tractor trailer unit (for hands on training), large and small training rooms, and offices.

Equipped for web-based conferencing and on-line learning, this state of the art training center has been conceived with the transportation industry in mind and with a strong focus on serving the industry, now and into the future.

You are invited to a Grand Opening on November 20th  (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM)
Enjoy light refreshments and tours of the new Centre of Excellence.
RSVP to Monica Schott by November 16th  monicas1@amta.ca

Situated near many AMTA members, the facility is located in the heart of Calgary's Patton Industrial Area, (285005 Wrangler Way) in Rocky View, Alberta T1X 0K3.  Link to Map
