National Hardware Show in Canada

An offshoot of the American National Hardware Show is being exported to Canada, where it will for the first time be open for business in the Toronto Congress Centre on 17 and 18 October. The fair is being held concurrently with Garden Expo/Florist Expo, which is one of the five largest horticultural exhibitions in North America with 700 exhibitors and 14 000 visitors, according to the organisers. This is one further attempt to establish a hardware and DIY fair in Canada. Messe Frankfurt experienced a flop with its H2X event, which it had hoped would be the successor to the former industry event, the Canadian Hardware Show.
