- September 7, 2021
NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 7, 2021
The Western Retail Lumber Association (WRLA) is thrilled to announce the official registration launch for the 2022 WRLA Building & Hardware Showcase. The event is taking place January 19 – 21, 2022 at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg.
“We are so excited to connect with our WRLA members at our annual Showcase. As the largest LBM show in the country, we are thrilled to kick off the return of large-scale events in a big way,” says Liz Kovach, WRLA president. “Our Showcase is always a chance for our industry to reconnect, but we know this year it will mean more to all of us after being apart for so long.”
The 2021 in-person Showcase was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the WRLA could safeguard the health of our members. The event proceeded with a twist through an online component with an app and in the Yardstick magazine. The platforms offered a new way to connect vendors and dealers, offer education opportunities and build industry awareness in an effective and efficient way.
“The WRLA team and board has worked hard to launch this year’s event in an exciting and safe way. We truly can’t wait to be reunited with our industry community in January,” says Joel Seibert, WRLA Board Chair.
The WRLA Building & Hardware Showcase is an annual event for WRLA members only, bringing together thousands of people in the LBM industry. You must be a paid and current WRLA member to attend the event. The show will be following all provincial public health guidelines. To register, visit our website.
