Toronto Summer Furniture Show to open Aug. 11

Michael J. Knell -- Furniture Today, February 8, 2012

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — This year's Toronto Summer Furniture Show will be held from Saturday to Tuesday, Aug. 11-14, the Canadian Home Furnishings Alliance has announced. The market will close with the annual CHFA Golf Classic on Tuesday.

According to CHFA Chairman Laine Reynolds, holding the golf tournament during TSFS provides an outstanding networking opportunity for suppliers and retailers. For the third consecutive year, the tournament will be at the Caledon Woods Golf Club in nearby Bolton, Ontario.

Reynolds said the Toronto Summer Furniture Show is "an excellent opportunity for independent retailers to check-out new product for the fall selling season." He said some TSFS participants are smaller manufacturers, importers and distributors that don't show at either the High Point or Las Vegas markets.

Last year, some 31 companies with showrooms in and around the International Centre here took part in the summer show.

As usual, the 2012 edition of the show will overlap with the semiannual gift show organized by the Canadian Gift & Tableware Assn., which will start its five-day run at the International Centre on Aug. 12.

Additional information about the Toronto show and the golf tournament will be available over the coming weeks. Furniture resources wishing to participate in the show should contact CHFA President Murray Vaughan at (905) 677-6561 or by email at murray@chfaweb.ca.
