The Canadian Hardware and Building Materials Show (CHS) will be held at Mississauga, Ontario, from 3 to 5 February 2002. More than 1 400 exhibits will be on display at the fair. The range of products in the category of interior decoration in particular will be greatly expanded this coming year. It is expected that 18 000 visitors from home and abroad will attend the three-day fair. This coming year workshops based on events concerning the 23 billion dollar market will be held as part of the show for the first time. In 2002 the CHS will be opening its doors for business at 10 a.m., which is one hour later than previously, and will be closing one hour earlier than usual at 5 p.m. on the Sunday and Monday.
