The Calgary Logistics Council was formed in 2003 as a nonprofit society and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and Officers. The CLC is an active partner of the Alberta Employment and Immigration’s Industry Contributors Group and has collaborated with other organizations on the building of Alberta’s Supply Chain Logistics Workforce Development Strategy. The CLC is currently involved in a two-year pilot partnership with the Calgary Chamber of Commerce and its Transportation Committee. The aim of the CLC is to further develop Calgary and region as a prominent logistics hub and a key inland connection to the Asia Pacific Gateway and Corridor with world-class air, rail and road infrastructure. The CLC works to create sustainable solutions to Calgary’s land-use and transportation-growth challenges, and to optimize the strategic value of Calgary’s airport, rail and trucking mobility corridors. The CLC endeavors to enhance the sector’s profile, build education and career pathways, and support the development of the sector as a community of practice.

The Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council helps employers in Canada’s supply chain sector address their need for more workers with better skills. Recognizing that the labour force is largely unacquainted with the sector’s opportunities and unprepared to fill available jobs, the Council works to increase awareness of supply chain jobs and careers, help educators and trainers provide programs that are relevant to industry’s needs, and give employers tools to enhance their HR management.
