The Canadian Courier & Logistics Association (CCLA) represents courier companies in both the overnight or later and sameday/messenger segments of the industry, many of which offer logistics services.
This is in contrast to other countries, such as the United States, where separate Associations exist for each segment individually.
In this sense the CCLA is truly unique in its ability to provide a full 360 perspective of the industry when dealing with various regulators and legislators, and developing services and programs.
Our regular, or courier company members have combined annual sales of over $3.4 billion, which in turn represents over 72% of the total value of the courier market.*
CCLA members also employ and/or use the services of over 32,700 Canadians, operate just under 12,000 vehicles, hundreds of aircraft, and maintain over 470 operational centers across the country.
Based on this information, it is clear that CCLA members serve as a key component in many companies' overall supply chain management strategies, and therefore contribute significantly to the success and well being of the overall Canadian economy.
