The biggest national home show in Canada will be taking place in the Direct Energy Centre at Exhibition Place from February 19 to February 28, 2010.
The event showcases over 700 vendors with outdoor products and home furnishings as well as provides information about remodeling, renovation and kitchen and bathroom upgrades. Numerous vendors will also be discussing ways to increase the greenness and energy-efficiency of homes, and a giant warehouse-sized sale will provide a venue for guests to sell their used, clearance-priced items to shoppers.
Many of the usual 150,000 annual visitors attend the show with home improvement or project planning in mind and are looking for decorating, design, landscaping, gardening, cooking tips as well as entertaining ideas.

- Toronto Star Dream Gardens will be highlighting 25,000 square feet of gardens using plants and styles following an “around the world” theme.
- Chat one-on-one with celebrity interior designers and ask any question about home renovations and decor.
