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.
What Visitors Will Experience
The Learning Centre is more than an exhibit zone—it is a guided learning journey that allows attendees to explore aging-in-place solutions in a practical, approachable way.
Educational Stage Programming
Daily talks and panel discussions focused on aging in place, accessible design, mobility planning, future-proof renovations, and home safety.
Interactive Displays & Demonstrations
Hands-on learning that shows how proactive design choices can improve functionality, comfort, and independence.
Ask-an-Expert Opportunities
Direct access to professionals who can answer questions and provide guidance on adapting the home for long-term living.
Curated Exhibitor Area
A select group of solution providers showcasing products and services aligned with healthy aging at home.
Tuesday, March 10 will also feature Healthy Aging at Home Day on the Enbridge Main Stage, spotlighting renovations for retirement, financial planning, and strategies to maximize both home value and quality of life.
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.
Education-Led Engagement and Thought Leadership
In addition to exhibit space, Pavilion partners may access a range of brand visibility and engagement opportunities, including:
Pavilion Stage Programming
Opportunities to deliver short, practical talks or participate in moderated discussions within the Learning Centre.
Ask-an-Expert Interaction
Direct dialogue with engaged homeowners seeking trusted guidance.
Brand Visibility Opportunities
Placement on large-format digital screens and Pavilion signage, reinforcing presence throughout the visitor experience.
Exclusive Main Stage Participation
A dedicated Healthy Aging at Home Day on the National Home Show’s Main Stage, available exclusively to Pavilion partners.
