WELCOME TO CANWEST 2014On behalf of the CanWest Committee and the BC Landscape & Nursery Association, I warmly welcome all horticulturists from throughout BC and North America to CanWest.

Connecting with customers and suppliers is the cornerstone of an effective trade show. Face to face communications helps build a solid business relationship allowing trust and sales to grow together. Equally important is continued professional and business development through education. Staying on top of trends, learning the latest research or simply perfecting practical

skills keeps you positioned as an industry leader. For 33 years, these cornerstones have provided CanWest with a solid foundation.

We invite you to meet our exhibitors as you walk the show floor — they have a wealth of knowledge to share. If there is a seminar you would still like to catch, check in with registration to see if there are seats available. Check out the latest products available in BC’s marketplace at the New Product Showcase. Take advantage of show specials and a chance to win $1,000 cash! Check out the Container Competition. Participate in the Plant ID Contest for a chance to win $250. And be sure to attend the Tailgate Party on opening day.

CanWest is starting a new chapter in 2015. The show is moving out of Vancouver and into Abbotsford. Mark your calendar now for an early September show – Sept 9 & 10 at Tradex. While the cornerstones will remain the same, you can look forward to a larger show that will include an outdoor equipment demonstration area, ‘Free Parking!’ and lots of new exciting features!
