Today and Sunday are the last two days of the Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show at the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg. The show runs today from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. If Friday's crowds are any indication, this may be one of the more popular shows in years.
The Kitchen and Bath show has always kicked off the new year for home renovations, and Manitobans lead the nation in that department. Manitoba is the only province where more money is spent annually on renovations than new-home construction. Considering Winnipeg has the third-oldest housing stock in Canada, home renovations are a very big part of our lifestyle.
The Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show is unique in that it provides a free avenue for consumers to test the renovation market. The Ask a Renovator segment of the Manitoba Home Builders Association booth is staffed with professional RenoMark renovators who are available to answer your questions about a job you may be planning or just dreaming about. They are there to provide free 20-minute consultations to help steer you in the right direction toward an enjoyable and exciting upgrade to your home. Just come to the show and you will be able to pick the brains of one of Manitoba's finest renovators.
Before or after talking to a renovator, every attendee has the opportunity to visit some of the finest suppliers of goods, materials and services that will greatly enhance their home. Not just kitchens and bathrooms, but every room in your house can benefit from the expertise on the show floor. Why drive all over town when the best advice for all your needs can be found under one roof?
Along with presenting sponsors All Canadian Renovations and Penta Spray Foam Systems, we are proud to feature Chef Rob Thomas on stage at 1 p.m. both days. We are also very pleased to be able to feature design expert Ramsin Khachi Saturday at noon, also on the Lifestyles stage.
Tickets for the $10,000 Springfield Woodworking kitchen cabinetry grand prize are being sold by volunteers from Variety -- the Children's Charity.
The Kitchen and Bath Renovation Show is today and Sunday, so don't miss your chance to see all of Manitoba's best suppliers located in one convenient place, the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg. Tickets are available at the door.
Mike Moore is president of the Manityoba Home Builders' Association
