2017 C.S.S.A. Hall of Fame Inductee
Mr. KEN HICK

On Thursday June 8, 2017 at the 11th Annual CSSA Western Canadian Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia it was a true honour and a priviledge to announce the 2017 CSSA Hall of Fame Inductee.  Mr. Ken Hick has been involved in the Self Storage industry in Canada for more than 40 years.  Ken was instrumental in the forming of both the CSSA of 1980 and CSSA as we know it today.  Ken has a wealth of knowledge of our industry and he is one of the first people to step up every time to assist anyone who asks.  Welcome and Congratulations Ken!!

The search is now on for our 2018 CSSA Hall of Fame Inductee.  If you know someone that stands above the rest as a leader and a positive contributor to the self storage industry in Canada, please contact Sue Margeson directly at [email protected] or by phone at 1-888-898-8538.  

Calling all Under 40's in the Self Storage industry to the:
C.S.S.A. YOUNG OPERATORS COUNCIL


With more and more younger people showing an interest in and being active in the Self Storage industry in Canada, we are thrilled to announce the creation of the CSSA Young Operators Council!

Over the past few years we have been approached by many Self Storage owners in Canada who are introducing the younger members of their families into their self storage businesses.  This is very exciting and encouraging for the growth of the industry and for the Association!  We have been told over and over again by the older storage generations how wonderful it is to have their "children" coming in, with new innovative ideas and energy.  

While travelling across Canada over the past several months we have had  an opportunity to sit down and chat with these young operators and so far the response to this CSSA Y.O.C has been extremely positive.  In fact the Council already has some of it's first Members.

The purpose of the Y.O.C. is to give you all a platform to network, interact, share ideas and learn.  We know that the younger people in this industry may be facing different challenges of change and our thoughts are that as a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) there will be great things to come in the future of the Self Storage industry in Canada and for the Canadian Self Storage Association!

If you are under 40 years old and actively involved in the operations of a C.S.S.A. Member self storage business, please contact Sue Margeson at [email protected]  or by phone at 1-888-8538.
