Mega set to support 2002 show in Calgary
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 14, 2001
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan — Mega Group will support next year's furniture market in Calgary, Alberta, but isn't committing beyond that.
"We will be there next June but there are no guarantees after that," said Michael Graydon, the buying group's president and chief executive officer.
Mega and Furniture West, the Winnipeg, Manitoba-based factory association that sponsors the market, will meet in November to discuss next year's market, slated for June 22-24 at Calgary's Round-up Center.
Graydon said both parties would like to improve the event for independent retailers in western Canada. "As long as the show has value to our members and the industry, we'll be there," he said.
Terry Clark, chairman of Furniture West, said that he and association President Joe Malko are embarking on a tour to talk to current and potential exhibitors about the market and get their input on how it could be improved.
Clark said preliminary conversations indicate that buying group Cantrex also will continue to support the show.
For the past several years, Cantrex has held meetings for its western Canada members immediately prior to the market.
