The Albion Bolton Community Centre will be filled with local home and lifestyle industry experts this weekend.

The spring Home and Lifestyle Show will take place there on April 29, 30, and May 1. According to a media release from show producer Liz Shaughnessy, it’s presented by the Caputo Group of RE/MAX West Experts.

“Visitors will find pure inspiration and expert advice at the spring Home and Lifestyle Show,” wrote Shaughnessy. “The show floor is filled with an incredible selection of industry experts and vendors… from smart renovations to eco-friendly projects, current design and décor trends, sustainable landscape design and garden tips, home maintenance and upgrades… and so much more.”

The show runs from 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday April 29, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday April 30, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday May 1. Admission is free, though attendees are encouraged to make a donation at the door to local charity Caledon Meals on Wheels.

According to Shaughnessy, the show is proud to be “uniquely pet-friendly.”

She said people interested in “Do it Yourself” projects will be able to get hands-on advice from industry experts at the show.

“Today’s savvy homeowners are looking for smart ideas and solutions for their homes inside

and out,” said Shaughnessy. “They want smart renovations which not only increase the value of their home, but are also energy-efficient, provide multi-purpose or repurposing space solutions, while reducing their carbon footprint.”

Shaughnessy said kitchens and bathrooms are still at the top of the homeowners to-do lists in 2022, though expanded multi-purpose outdoor living renovations are becoming more popular as working from home becomes more normal.

She said the show will feature a daily “Ask the Experts” stage that will feature presentations from people like three-time renovator of the year Michael Upshall of Probuilt Design + Build.

Upshall will be speaking to costly building and renovation mistakes, according to Shaughnessy.

Some other people who will be presenting at the show include: Shaheer Khan, Sherwin Williams

Canada product and trends expert, on “Colour Trends and Coatings that work”; Anthony Caputo of the Caputo Group of RE/MAX West Experts on “the Buy/Sell equation in today’s real estate market”; Megan Schlosser, owner of Garden Detailing on “tips and tricks for container gardening” and “creating three-season colour and floral/veggie gardenscapes”; and Orange Theory Fitness on “stepping up your fitness regime.”

Shaughnessy said there will be an “Amorettos Fashion Show” held daily that will feature local celebrities on the catwalk wearing “the season’s hottest trends” from local fashion companies.

Finally, Shaughnessy said the show will introduce a “Boutique Fair” with specialty vendors that will be great for finding gifts.
