The Cottage Life & Cabin Show, which draws in attendees from all over Alberta, as well as Saskatchewan and British Columbia, is the region’s premier destination to comparison shop among more than 150 exhibitors specializing in cabin season, including contractors, specialty building products, green energy solutions, furniture, decor, outdoor accessories and more. All weekend long, the Show will offer free main stage presentations on everything from wood working and cabin rental management to live cooking demonstrations and fire safety.
