About Us...

The Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) of Canada is a national, volunteer federation of provincial and regional RVDA associations and their members who have united to form a professional trade association for all businesses involved in the recreation vehicle industry.

Since 1996, the association developed a national Education and Human Resources committee to promote more awareness of the job opportunities available in the RV industry.  The association is also committed to working with public and private training providers to keep up with the latest technology and to ensure employees can acquire the training needed to help them excel in their jobs.

We are an equal opportunity industry.  We seek individuals that want to be passionate about their work, show pride in the work performed, likes to be challenged, and can handle the pressure during busy season.  There are 4 general paths laid out for you but how far to go and which route to take is entirely up to you.  You may even discover your hidden talents along the way.
