Alan Boughton, Provincial Appointee
Mr. Alan Boughton was recently re-appointed by the Provincial government to the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Service Board in May 2022 for a three year term ending in May 2025.
Al Boughton has been an industry leader for over 45 years. His current capacity as Co-Founder of Trailcon Leasing began more than twenty-six years ago when he decided to leave his role of President at Provincial Trailer Rentals to branch out on his own. The rest, as they say, is history as Trailcon has enjoyed tremendous success, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2017, and grown its fleet to over 8,500 trailers while becoming a well-respected supplier of lease and rental units.
Al has been extensively involved with various industry organizations and other local business organizations throughout his career. He has been involved with the Ontario Trucking Association for more than 40 years in various capacities including chairman, vice-chairman, board member and on the executive committee. He was also involved with the Transportation Committee and the Airport Committee for the Mississauga Board of Trade for more than 15 years. Additional industry associations include being a founding member of the Private Motor Truck Council, and a long-standing member of the Toronto Trucking Association. He continues to be actively involved in the Toronto Transportation Club, the Canadian Trucking Alliance and the Intermodal Association of North America.
In November 2012, Al was awarded the prestigious Shaw Tracking – OTA Service to the Industry Award, representing the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a member of the trucking industry and this was also the first time the award was presented to an Allied Trades member of the OTA.
Al is also a regular supporter of several local charities, including Victim Services of Peel, Trillium Hospital, and the Canadian Cancer Society among others. He has long been a classic car enthusiast and is a restorer of classic automobiles, specifically Corvettes and Mopars. Al and his wife Wendy enjoy travelling extensively and when not travelling or working, Al enjoys spending time enjoying his country property and is also an avid collector of vintage wines. Al is also the father of two girls, Stacey and Sarah, and in November 2013, he became a grandfather and is looking forward to the day that he and his grandson, Brett, can bond over old cars and football. Al returned to the familiar world of baby girls with the arrival of his granddaughter, Kate, in January 2016.
