| Article | The Floorcovering Institute of Ontario (FIO) is pleased to announce the launch of our new website which is located at www.TheFIO.ca . The site has numerous improvements and additional content. We invite people to please take the time to look around and see for yourself. Our new Members section contains information on our Education Courses, News, Events, Benefit Details (forms), and our Newsletter library. Members can obtain a password by emailing rschooley@TheFIO.ca . We have also made it easier for new members to join by placing forms and prices online. With the new website we have also made it possible for Members or others to follow our activity on FACEBOOK and TWITTER. Links to these online communities are in the lower right corner of every page. The FIO is consistently seeking new services and conveniences that we can offer our members. We are striving to be one of the best industry associations in the Province of Ontario. Our numerous training and education programs are excellent. From “How to install hardwood” to “Measuring and Estimating”, these courses can help veterans or rookies in the floor covering business improve their skills. The courses also allow our Members to set themselves apart from every other flooring retailer. Our Members care about their businesses and about their clients, which is why they invest in having the most educated associates in the industry. We are also more than just flooring retailers; we are manufacturers, distributors, and installers. We are also professional cleaners! The FIO is the only provincial floor covering association in Canada to include the cleaning and maintenance sector of the industry in our membership. In 1993, The Ontario Professional Carpet Cleaners Association (OPCCA) joined the FIO. We now offer several courses for professional cleaners and cleaning companies. We are shareholders in both Connections and IICRC (The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) and the cleaners are an ever important segment of our membership. Finally, with the new website we will be converting our printed newsletter to a more earth friendly electronic version. Hard copies will be available for those who prefer a paper copy. Again, welcome to the new www.TheFIO.ca website. If you have any suggestions or ideas for improvement to the site or any other inquiries, please direct them to our Executive Director – Rosemary Schooley via email at rschooley@TheFIO.ca . |
