TORONTO- Accolade Reaction Promotion Group, Inc. (ARPG) -- a division of Golf Town Canada Inc. and Canada's leading corporate merchandise services firm -- has been named "National Distributor of the Year" by the Promotional Product Professionals of Canada (PPPC).

Honoured for an unprecedented sixth consecutive year, ARPG continues to emphasize building strong partnerships with its clients and supply chain partners. The annual award is voted on by industry suppliers, manufacturers and multi-line sales representatives.
