A group of Canadian freight forwarders
recently received Letters Patent from the Department of

the Canadian International Freight Forwarders

It is hoped that this group will

forwarders in its membership. The principal object of
the Association will be to support and protect Canadian
freight forwarders and their clients by establishing
uniform trade practices and regulations and eliminating
trade evils and abuses. |
