ACE Attends National Convention & Advocates on Parliament Hill

Every year the Canadian Association of Fairs & Exhibitions hosts a national convention allowing for the over 700 Fairs, Exhibitions and Agricultural societies across Canada to come together, network, learn, and grow. While the 2022 Convention was hosted in Ottawa, CAFE delegates invited their respective Members of Parliament to attend a meet and greet to advocate for the Fair's role in the vitality of our communities' heritage and culture.
ACE was joined by delegates from the Saint John Exhibition, Port Elgin Exhibition, and the New Brunswick Exhibition. Together, they also attended information sessions on topics like Creative ways to keep the family focus in programming; Engaging youth volunteers; Becoming a high-performance organization; and Diversifying your organization's revenue. All representatives look forward to bringing ideas back to their Fairs to deliver to their communities in the 2023 Fair season.
