This is the year Toronto makes green living a little more palatable.
The seventh edition of the
Green Living Show was announced last week, along with its newest feature, the Ontario Culinary Adventure, done in conjunction with the
Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance.
"This is a collection of a dozen pavilions," says Green Living events VP Robert Orlovski. "Each pavilion represents a chef, a farmer a distiller, vintner or brewer and a destination marketing representative from a region, from Ottawa across the price to Windsor."
In addition to that, there’ll be an eco-parent show-within-a-show (there will, apparently, be mompreneurs), as well as Go Electric, a showcase for electric cars.
"We have been monitoring the marketplace and speaking a lot with car manufacturers," Orlovski says, and "this year, 2013, is a huge year for electric cars. We’ll be featuring tons of electric cars. Not only them, but also charging technologies. A whole section on what the electrification of transportation means in our city."
The Green Living Show, a showcase for marketing and branding firm
Green Living whose clients include Loblaws, Samsung, Scotiabank and Tridel as well as the City of Toronto, will be held April 12-14 at the Direct Energy Centre’s halls B and C at the Ex. The $16 admission can be waived with a drop-off of recyclable electronics at the door.
