The Ontario Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (OSSGA) named Polydeck territory manager Alex Caruana as its Associate Member of the Year for 2021.
The award, presented each year by OSSGA, was originally created to recognize the efforts of associate members who advise, supply and support aggregate producers. According to the association, the member recognized is often one who is known for productive relationships with both OSSGA members and involvement in their local community while actively shaping a positive image for the aggregate industry in Ontario, Canada.
The OSSGA Associate Member of the Year Award is typically presented at the association’s annual conference. Due to the pandemic, OSSGA’s conference was held virtually this year.
“It left me speechless,” Caruana says on hearing that he was the 2021 award recipient. “This award isn’t really something you’re working toward or trying to earn. However, now I can see the journey I’ve taken to get to this award. I am beyond honored.”
Caruana started his career in the industry 15 years ago as a student. He was hired at Dufferin Concrete as a quality control technician, keeping his job for several summers before transitioning to full-time work at Dufferin following graduation. Later, Caruana joined Polydeck, where he currently helps customers with screen media needs.
