Title: Competing Outdoor Shows
Post by: JBB on February 19, 2026, 12:29:09 PM
     The BC Sport and Wildnerness Show is on at TRADEX ( March 6-8 ) and the BC Outdoors is at the Chilliwack Heritage Park  March ( 13-15 ). If you only wanted to attend one of these events, which one would you go to ?

I liked going to the Tradex due to how close in proximity to where I live however . The last couple years I went there were very few angling venders at the show or hunting booths or small watercraft .There was a lot of large expensive boats on display etc. One year I went, I thought I was at an RV show . I was looking for resorts that I was interested to get or compare a booking but was disappointed how few there were so that was a bust . Even though the Chilliwack show is a bit further by about 25 minutes , they had everything there that the Tradex did many many years ago . So , for me The Outdoor Show would be my first choice .
