Fire Regulations
MOVE-IN
• Tuesday, April 5 .................................................. scheduled times
• Wednesday, April 6 ............................................ scheduled times
Children under the age of 16 are not permitted on the show
floor during move-in. This is legislation from the Ontario
Ministry of Labour. There will be no exceptions made for any
reason.
Schedule
Tuesday and Wednesday are designated move-in days. In
order to minimize congestion during move-in, all exhibitors
will be notified in late February/early March of a specific
move-in time.
Exhibits
All exhibits must be fully completed and operational by
8PM on Wednesday. This allows for aisle carpet installation
and pre-show media review. Exhibits must remain intact
and staed until show closing at 5PM on Sunday. Failure to
adhere to this regulation will aect future participation in the
Cottage Life Shows.
Vehicle Access
Exhibitors with booths that are 500 Sq.Ft. or larger may have
vehicle access, subject to a scheduled move-in time and
approval from show management. Booths that are under 500
Sq.Ft. do not have vehicle access.
Material Handling
Full forklift services and dollies will be made available to
exhibitors on the Tuesday and Wednesday before the show
from 8AM-6PM. For any additional requirements, please
contact Cottage Life by April 4. Forklift service is provided for
materials delivery only. If you require forklift service for booth
construction purposes, please refer to the “In-Booth Forklift
Services Form” from Stronco, found in your exhibitor kit.
Storage
Exhibitors must obtain storage stickers from the show oce
during move-in with which to clearly identify their empty
crates and containers. This packaging will be moved from the
aisle to the designated storage area prior to show opening.
Unfortunately, due to space restraints, we cannot store
exhibitors’ product stock.
Shipping
All shipments should be consigned to:
2022 SPRING COTTAGE LIFE SHOW
(Exhibitor’s Company Name)
(Hall #, Booth #, and number of pieces in shipment)
*
International Centre
6900 Airport Road
Mississauga, ON L4V 1E8
*This information will follow in the coming weeks
Crates and packages should be clearly marked indicating
the show name, exhibitor’s name, hall and booth number.
Shipments will not be accepted at the International Centre
prior to the actual move-in period of Tuesday, April 5 and
Wednesday, April 6. Exhibitors should therefore arrange for
shipments to arrive during their scheduled move-in date
and time period (C.O.D. shipments will not be accepted by
Cottage Life).
SHIPPING IN ADVANCE: ABF has facilities in its own
warehouse to receive advance shipments for shows. Freight
can be received in their warehouse up to 30 days prior to
show move-in with delivery to the show building for one all-
inclusive price. Should you wish to utilize this service, please

• Sunday, April 10 ...........................................................5pm–11pm
• Monday, April 11 ......................................................... 8am–12pm
Children under the age of 16 are not permitted on the show
floor during move-out. This is legislation from the Ontario
Ministry of Labour. There will be no exceptions made for any
reason.

For the benefit and safety of the consumer, no removal or
dismantling of exhibits or material is permitted before 5pm
on Sunday, April 10. Violation of this regulation may result in
a fine and/or aect future participation.
Exhibitors are asked to remove small cartons and open
cases of products from the building immediately after the
close of the show. While Cottage Life will take all reasonable
precautions to safeguard small items, immediate removal will
minimize the possibility of loss from theft.
Vehicle Access
Vehicle access will not be possible until exhibits obstructing
drive-in doors are removed and aisle carpet has been rolled
up. These tasks will be completed promptly at show close.
Material Handling
At show closing, all aisle carpets will be removed.
Distribution for dollies will be determined on site. We ask that
you leave a driver’s license or credit card to ensure against
loss. Please keep aisles free of material.
Storage
Crates and containers will be returned to exhibitors’ booths
promptly once all aisle carpet is removed. Please note
all exhibit material left on the show floor after move-out
dates will be removed by ABF Transportation at the owner’s
expense. Please ensure you have made proper arrangements
as there will be no exceptions.

SHOW RULES & REGULATIONS
These rules are designed to ensure safety and fairness to all exhibitors. All exhibits must be free standing and self-supporting.
Please read our booth regulations for further information. Management reserves the right:
a. To restrict exhibits which, because of noise or any other reason, become objectionable;
b. To close, without indemnity, the exhibit of any exhibitor who refuses, after notice, to conform to the rules which apply to all
other exhibitors
Entry To Show
Cottage Life reserves the right to refuse admission to any
visitor or exhibitor who, in the opinion of Cottage Life, is unfit,
intoxicated, or in any way creating a disruption to the show.
Alcoholic Beverages
The use of alcoholic beverages in exhibitors’ booths is
prohibited and may only be consumed in designated lounge
areas.
Deliveries
Deliveries must be made before the show opens each day,
not during show hours. Please clearly indicate company
name, booth #, and hall #. Please note Cottage Life and
Show Oce sta are not able to sign for any deliveries.
Please plan your delivery time to coincide with when your
booth is staed.
Latecomers & No Shows
Any space not claimed and occupied, or for which no special
arrangements have been made, may be resold or reassigned
by Cottage Life without obligation or any refund whatsoever.
Security
Exhibitors are required to have their exhibit area staed at all
times during the hours of the show. Exhibitors are reminded
that Cottage Life does not assume any responsibility for
losses. Exhibitors should take all reasonable precautions to
protect their own property.
Security guards will be on 24 hour duty from move-in until
the end of move-out. The Spring Cottage Life Show and
the building owners cannot assume responsibility for losses
incurred.
Safety
It is the exhibitors’ responsibility to ensure the safety of
show visitors, their own operators and exhibit personnel
at all times during the show. Show management highly
recommends all sta involved in constructing and
dismantling exhibitors during move-in and move-out be
wearing safety footwear.
Pets
Pets are not permitted at the Spring Cottage Life Show.
The only exceptions to this are in the case where an exhibit
directly relates, or registered service animals.
Smoking
Please note that smoking in the International Centre is not
permitted.
Soliciting, Samples, & Souvenirs
Distribution of samples, souvenirs, and promotional material,
as well as the soliciting of business, must be confined to
the exhibitor’s own space. Aisle space must not be used for
exhibit purposes or for solicitation of business. Exhibitors
wishing to enter another exhibitor’s area may do so if
invited. The sole exception will be for Cottage Life and
representatives of any ocial show publications.
Only participating exhibitors have the exclusive rights to
promote or sell goods and services in this show. All other
parties who attempt to make any sales solicitations or
distribute written material without the express written
permission of Cottage Life will be permanently removed
from the show area. Exhibitors are asked to report any
infractions to the show oce so that immediate action can
be taken. The building owners warn that exhibitors handing
out adhesive-backed promotional material will be charged
for removal of this material from the walls, floors, and other
structures in the building.
Subletting
No exhibitor may sublet any portion of its allocated exhibit
space to another company, supplier, and/or dealer without
the express written consent of Cottage Life.
Tools
Out of respect for fellow exhibitors, please note that power
tools used during booth construction must be equipped with
dust bags.
