Healthy Aging at Home Learning Centre

National Home Show | March 6–15, 2026 | Toronto

The Healthy Aging at Home Learning Centre is an interactive educational pavilion presented by LivABLE Canada at the National Home Show, taking place March 6–15, 2026, at Toronto’s Enercare Centre.

This purpose-built learning environment is designed to help Canadians better understand how thoughtful design, renovations, products, and services can support independent living, mobility, safety, and quality of life at home, now and into the future.

Why Healthy Aging at Home Matters

Canada is entering a pivotal demographic shift. Over the next five years, millions of Canadians will reach or approach retirement age, many seeking ways to remain in their homes longer, more safely, and more comfortably.

For homeowners aged 55+, decisions about renovations, accessibility, and home functionality are no longer hypothetical; they are timely, financially significant, and values-driven. This audience represents one of the most influential segments in the home improvement market, with strong purchasing power and a clear motivation to invest in solutions that enhance long-term livability.

The Healthy Aging at Home Learning Centre responds directly to this need by bringing education, expertise, and trusted solutions together in one highly visible destination on the show floor.

A Premium Opportunity for Exhibitors

Exhibiting in the Healthy Aging at Home Learning Centre offers more than standard show-floor exposure. The Pavilion has become a recognized and well-attended feature of the National Home Show, created specifically for homeowners aged 55+ who are actively planning how to remain safe, independent, and comfortable in their homes.

A Highly Motivated, Intent-Driven Audience

What distinguishes the Pavilion from the broader show floor is audience intent.

Pavilion visitors are not casual browsers. They are homeowners and families who are:

  • Planning renovations, accessibility upgrades, or long-term home adaptations
  • Comparing providers and solution options
  • Asking informed, practical questions tied to real decision-making timelines

For exhibitors, this results in higher-quality conversations with attendees who are already motivated and engaged.

Elevated Brand Visibility in a Curated Environment

Participation places your organization within a purpose-built educational zone, surrounded by providers who share a commitment to supporting Canadians as they age at home.

Exhibitors benefit from:

  • Placement within a high-traffic Pavilion footprint designed to encourage longer dwell time
  • Association with a trusted, education-first initiative rather than a purely transactional sales environment
  • Visibility alongside organizations focused on accessibility, renovation, design, mobility, wellness, and in-home services

To preserve quality and ensure meaningful visibility, participation is intentionally limited to approximately 20–30 organizations.
