Who Should Attend?
The Canadian Home Improvement Show has a proven track record as a true buying show. In a move to better reflect its attendees and exhibitors, the Show recently changed its name from the LBMAO Winter Buying Show to the Canadian Home Improvement Show. Building on their success as a true buying show, the LBMAO will continue to host the event.
Based in Toronto, the Show is central to industry delegates in the province. Connecting Ontario retailers with suppliers from all across Canada, the Show encompasses more than just building materials. Following a concerted expansion over the past several years, the Show has grown to include all of the home improvement sectors such as building materials, hardlines, lawn and garden, paint and décor, and power tools.
