Toronto Sportsmen’s Show is Moving to The International Centre on March Break in 2016

The Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows is pleased to announce that a multi-year agreement has been finalized that will see the 69th edition of the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show being held March 16-20, 2016 at The International Centre, located at 6900 Airport Road in Mississauga.

RETURN TO A 5 DAY FORMAT
Canada’s Greatest and Most Historic Sportsmen’s Show will return to its traditional five day format at The International Centre.

EASILY ACCESSIBLE LOCATION AND FREE PARKING
Jennifer Allaby, Ontario Regional Manager of the Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows and Show Manager of the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show is excited by the prospects offered by this new venue.
“The International Centre is positioned in the middle of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), at the junction of seven major Ontario highways. It’s also one of the only facilities of its kind to offer free parking for over 5,000 vehicles. The benefit of complimentary parking at The International Centre is that it dramatically lowers the cost of attending the show”, said Allaby.

LISTENING TO EXHIBITORS AND ATTENDEES
“In discussions with many of our valued exhibitors and attendees it became very clear that they preferred the show’s traditional family oriented March Break dates” remarked Walter Oster, Chairman & CEO of the Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows. “I am sure everyone realizes how difficult it is to relocate a show the size of the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show, therefore I am extremely pleased that we have been able to enter into a new long term agreement with The International Centre to hold the 2016 Toronto Sportsmen’s Shows on the March Break time slot.”

Asian Carp Forum November 8: All are Welcome

You may be aware of the threat to fish and recreational sport fishing in the Great Lakes, particularly Lake Ontario, posed by the possible introduction of Asian Carp. Currently, an electronic barrier at Chicago is keeping these fish from entering Lake Ontario. The threat posed by these fish is significant, and has been the focus of considerable activity on the part of the Canadian, U.S. and Ontario governments.

Please see attached a notice of a public meeting about a public forum on Asian Carp, at which experts from both federal governments, the province, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission and others will discuss the issues and solutions to this pressing problem. The public is encouraged to attend, particularly all those who value the opportunity to fish in Lake Ontario and surrounding waters, to learn more about what is being done to protect the recreational sport fishery from this potential threat.

The Forum is being held on November 8, 2012, 8:30 –4:30 at the Palais Royale, 1601 Lake Shore Blvd. W., near Sunnyside Park on the Toronto waterfront.

If you are interested in attending, you can pre-register at www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/asiancarp
