MISSISSAUGA, Ont. -- It was party time in Mississauga today, as Kriska Group of Companies celebrated a double anniversary.
The over-the-road for-hire carrier celebrated both its 35th year in business and its 25th year operating out of the City of Mississauga. To mark the occasion, the Prescott, ON-based company invited another anniversary celebrant to its party: Mississauga, ON mayor Hazel McCallion. In December, 92-year-old McCallion marked her 35th anniversary as mayor of the city.
Canadian Trucking Alliance president and CEO David Bradley also took part in the ceremony.
Kriska was founded by Ken Seymour, father of current company president Mark Seymour. Today, it employs approximately 450 people, with approximately 200 working out of the 20,000 sq.-ft. Mississauga office. The company operates 350 trucks and 1,100 trailers with the fleet being mainly split between Prescott and Mississauga, in addition to a small presence in London, Ontario.
While the company is still headquartered in Eastern Ontario, Seymour says the province’s economy has dictated where Kriska operates.
