What is it that brought a large number of patrons to our 50th show?

the welcoming atmosphere of Canada's largest and longest running Toy Show

the bright lighting making examining purchases easier

comparable table and booth prices with other major Canadian shows

the availibility of pre show trading rights during dealer set-up Saturday evening
and early Sunday morning

the CTCS website providing instant answers to Show questions

the knowledge that profits from the show are used to purchase Canadian toys
and maintain them for public viewing and museum use

website distribution of $2.00 off admission coupons

a steady buyer lineup entering the hall

the diverse selection of toys at over 200 tables & booths

the ample free parking

the extensive print and media advertising

the low public admission cost

the fact that the TTC stops nearby

our international flyer distribution

the friendly atmosphere of a "club-run" Toy Show

Indeed, all these features helped bring out the crowds. Dealers appreciated club member assistance during set-up and closing, the free coffee and donuts and the show's friendly atmosphere

We invite you to join us for our 51st show. Dealers who register and pay in full by the early response date receive a discounted rate. Full dealer information and a show contract are available on-line. Check our show page for details.

Attention Toy Collectors

For 50 years the Canadian Toy Collectors' Society has set the standard for toy show excellence in Canada. C.T.C.S. has consistently led the way to bigger and better shows and we will host our 51^st Canada's Greatest Collector's Toy Show & Sale on October 20, 2024. This show promises to be the best show ever.

Located at the ETOBICOKE OLYMPIUM, Canada's Greatest Collector's Toy Show & Sale boasts the cleanest and brightest venue with the largest number of dealers and, based on past experience at shows, we expect the biggest number of attendees on show day-morning.

In addition, ample FREE PARKING will ensure that dealers and collectors alike make this show their "Number One Fall Priority". When you add our crew of helpers who assist dealers during move in and set-up, complimentary coffee and donuts and our extensive professional publicity, it is no wonder that our dealer tables are always sold out.

This in turn translates into a wide variety of collectible toys available for the public attending our shows. It is not at all unusual to hear collectors reporting that they found that "rare piece" for their collection at Canada's Greatest Collector's Toy Show & Sale.

Our Saturday evening and Sunday morning dealer set-up times, coupled with the opportunity for non-dealers to purchase "early floor rights" during those times, means our next show on October 20, 2024 promises to be an event to remember. Plan now to attend.

When it comes to leading the way there is only one area where we lag behind ... our prices. Our table and show admission rates are lower than comparably sized shows in the Southern Ontario area. Our 51st show promises to be our best ever..

Don't miss Canada's Greatest Collector's Toy Show & Sale and join us for Canada's premiere toy collecting experience.
