This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, as well as the trust and support of our valued customers and industry partners.

Each year, the RVDA of Canada, in conjunction with RV Lifestyle Magazine and Dealer News, invites nominations from across Canada for the Canadian RV Dealer of the Year Award. The award is dedicated to the memory of the late Walt Paseska, founder of Walt’s Trailer Sales in Headingley, Manitoba, in recognition of his many years of commitment and dedication to the RV industry. Since established in 1989 by Camping Canada Magazine, this award has been presented to individuals who share Walt’s enthusiasm and commitment, in recognition of their long-term contribution to the RV lifestyle, and commitment to the community as a whole.

The award is presented to a candidate who has:

  • Demonstrated long-term dedication to the RV industry and promotion of the RV lifestyle by the acting dealer principal of a recognized full-service RV dealership
  • Shown commitment and participation in the RVDA at the provincial or national level
  • Been recognized by customers and peers as a person with the highest integrity and credibility in both work and personal life

Bucars RV Centre, located in Balzac, Alberta, has a long and proud history in the RV industry, dating back to its founding in 1959. Originally based in Calgary, Bucars started as a small dealership specializing in trailers and motorhomes.

This move enabled Bucars to serve a wider customer base while maintaining its reputation for offering a full range of RV products and services, including new and used RV sales, parts, and expert servicing.

Throughout its history, Bucars RV Centre has been actively engaged in the RV community, participating in events and supporting industry initiatives. Jeff and Kyle being lifelong advocates of the RV lifestyle, have invested countless hours in their provincial and national associations. Jeff and Kyle both served as directors and then Presidents of the RVDA of Alberta. Both brothers sat as directors on the RVDA of Canada Board. Kyle Redmond is a Past Chair of the RVDA of Canada and Jeff Remond is a Past Chair of Go RVing Canada.
