On Wednesday morning, RVDA of Canada, in conjunction with RV Lifestyle Magazine and Dealer News, honored Jeff and Kyle Redmond of Bucars RV Centre as the RV Dealer of the Year.
The annual award is dedicated to the late Walt Paseska, founder of Walt’s Trailer Sales, for his years of commitment and dedication to the industry. The award honors individuals who share Paseska’s enthusiasm and commitment to the RV lifestyle and industry. Nominees must demonstrate long-term dedication to the industry at an RV dealership, show commitment and participation in RVDA, be recognized by consumers and peers with credibility and integrity and make a community contribution.
Jeff and Kyle Redmond said they were honored to receive the award.
“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,” the brothers said. “Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey—we could not have achieved this without you.”
Bucars RV Centre has expanded since its beginning in 1959. The dealer has been actively engaged in the industry with both brothers serving on provincial and national associations.
Jeff and Kyle Redmond 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.
Bucars provides its Bucars U educational program with workshops, seminars and hands-on sessions, through which consumers learn essential skills, from maintenance and troubleshooting to best practices for making the most of their RV adventures.
The dealership is also active in charitable organizations near Blalzac, Alberta, including The Alex Community Health Bus, the Dental Bus, the Man Van and the Youth Bus.
The Redmond’s father, Bill Redmond, is a previous Canadian Dealer of the Year.
According to RVDA of Canada, for the Redmonds, the RV industry is more than just a career—it is a way of life.
