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 training and education programs are excellent and
numerous. From “How to install hardwood” to “Measuring and
Estimating”, these courses can help veterans or rookies in
the floor covering business improve their skills. These
course 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.
Sincerely, The Board of Directors.
