Ontario Launching New Certification for Towing Industry
Province protecting drivers from fraudulent towing companies
June 28, 2024
The Ontario government is increasing safety, supporting customers and improving standards in the towing industry. Effective July 1, 2024, Ontario will become the first province in Canada to require both tow truck drivers and vehicle storage operators to have a certificate to operate, helping protect drivers against fraudulent towing companies.
“While the vast majority of Ontario’s towing industry operates in good faith, bad actors have preyed on vulnerable drivers for too long,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “That is why our government is helping to level the playing field, giving people confidence and peace of mind when they need help at the side of the road.”

Message from CJ Taylor, Operations Manager/Consultant
This is exciting, as when we started this business in 2014, we were hoping to just get enough work to keep myself busy. Fast track to today, we have four full time employees and a hand full of casual part time employees. We are lucky enough to gain the trust of the community to train their employees in health and safety courses, from First Aid & CPR, Working at Heights, and respirator fit testing and not to mention the line up of online courses we offer and onsite medical event first aid services.
Over 5500 clients per year trust us with their training, which is above anything I ever thought of in my 10-year plan. I appreciate every client that takes training with us, buys medical supplies or calls for advice to make their company a safer place. Thank you.
Congratulations CJ and Team!!
