"I've been doing this for 32 years, it's time to pack
it in and I decided 10 years ago that when I retire I would sell my equipment
with Ritchie Bros.," said Michael Cardinal, owner of Lakeshore Contracting
Ltd. "I constantly maintained all this equipment and made sure all repairs
were done regularly. I could try to sell it all myself piece by piece, but that
could take years–Ritchie Bros. can sell it all in a single auction. They have
great advertising and are always professional."
Equipment consignments are still being accepted for the
Edmonton April auction. Interested sellers are encouraged to contact the
