June 2025 - Message from Your CAMA President

Looking Ahead
 

As we enjoy the summer months, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for being part of our growing CAMA community. Whether you’ve been a long-time member or just joined us recently, your support helps strengthen and shape the future of our industry.

 

We recently hosted our annual CAMA Golf Tournament, a strong turnout once again and an example of how CAMA continues to bring the industry together. Beyond being a great day of networking and visibility for sponsors, these events reinforce the professional connections that help move our businesses forward.

 

Looking ahead to the fall, we are continuing that momentum with more Network Nights and planning for our Annual General Meeting (AGM). We will be returning to Montreal for another social evening, and looking at expanding to Toronto and Calgary, following the positive feedback from our Vancouver and Montreal events.

 

We are also focused on building out the value of your membership. From group insurance and health benefits to discounts through Perkopolis and growing advertising opportunities in our bi-monthly newsletter, there are more ways than ever to make your membership work for your business. If you haven’t yet explored these options, I encourage you to visit our Member Benefits page at www.vending-cama.com.

 

The year has been full of positive signs for our industry, with strong reports from operators and growing interest in vending, micro markets, and office coffee services across Canada. CAMA also continues to monitor the impact and future of supply chains, tariffs and other issues so that we can best support you.

 

On behalf of the CAMA Board of Directors, I wish you a relaxing and productive summer season.

Jim Jackson
President
Canadian Automatic Merchandising Association (CAMA)
