Canadian Board Co is booked for ten boat, home and cottage shows across Canada between January and April 2027, from the Toronto International Boat Show in January to the Ottawa Cottage Life & Backyard Show in April. The full schedule, venues and booth numbers are in the table below. Come stand on a dock, sit in a Rover Marine boat and ask the team anything.
Inflatable docks and boats are hard to judge from a product photo. You want to know how firm the deck feels underfoot, how heavy the rolled-up dock really is, and whether the boat fits the back of your truck. A show booth is the one place you can check all of that in ten minutes.
Here is where we will be in 2027. We will update this page as booth numbers come in.

Why visit us at a show
We are a Canadian-owned shop in Kelowna, BC, and most of the year you reach us by phone or online. The shows are where you get to meet Jaeger and the team in person, and where we get to see your shoreline photos instead of hearing them described.
Stand on it
Walk on an inflated POP Board Co dock, feel the traction pad and the firmness, and lift the corner to judge the carry. Compare the POPUP Dock, AquaDock and YachtDock side by side when they are on the floor.
Sit in it
Climb into a Rover Marine Battle Boat or Battle Cat, check the seating and the transom, and ask how it packs down for the drive to the lake.
Ask about it
Paddleboards, pumps and POP Up Chairs are easier to choose when you can see the width and thickness in person and ask which one fits the way you paddle.
The exact lineup at each booth depends on floor space. If you are coming to see one specific product, call 1-800-399-5260 the week before and we will tell you if it is on the floor.
What people say after meeting us
"I love my pop up dock and chairs!"Scott Clark McNeil, Google review. Met the team at the Cottage Life show in Toronto.
Met the team at the Vancouver boat show and went home with a Rover Marine Battle Cat.
Summary of a Google review by matthew duke"Jaeger has been a pleasure to deal with."Ian Judd, Google review

What to bring and plan before the show
The most useful booth conversations take five minutes, because the visitor came prepared. The ones that go nowhere start with "we have a cottage" and nothing else. Screenshot this list.
- Measure your space. The length of your existing dock or shoreline, the width of your boat's swim platform, and the spot where the gear will live in winter (garage shelf, crawlspace, truck box).
- Know your water. Depth where the dock will sit, the bottom (sand, mud, weeds, rock, steep drop-off) and how exposed it is. Wind that picks up after 2 pm on a big lake changes the anchoring answer.
- Count the users. How many adults, kids and dogs will be on it at once. Two adults and a 70 lb dog is a different dock from six teenagers jumping off the end.
- Bring photos. Your shoreline, your boat, the stairs or path down to the water. A photo answers in seconds what takes ten minutes to describe.
- Check your vehicle. If you are looking at a boat, know your cargo space and whether you want to tow at all.
- Ask about show pricing on the day. Offers vary from show to show and are set close to each one. Ask at the booth rather than planning around a discount.
- Know the local rules. Permit and anchoring rules vary by province, municipality and conservation authority. For boats and motors, check Transport Canada's current boating safety rules.
Show by show: 2027 details
One section per show, in date order. Booth numbers we do not have yet are marked "booth number coming soon".
Toronto International Boat Show 2027
Sat Jan 16 to Sun Jan 24, 2027. Toronto, Enercare Centre. Booth G-543.
Nine days at the Enercare Centre, the longest show on our calendar. It is also where we first showed Rover Marine boats in 2026. If you are on the Muskokas, the Kawarthas or Georgian Bay and want to stand on a dock before you commit, come on a weekday afternoon. The weekends get packed and you will wait to talk to someone.
Vancouver International Boat Show 2027
Wed Jan 27 to Sun Jan 31, 2027. Vancouver, Vancouver Convention Centre. Booth 441.
West Coast boaters spend a lot of time at the boats here, asking about using an inflatable as a tender and tying a dock off the swim platform. Saltwater use, rinsing and storage come up in nearly every conversation, so bring those questions. If you keep a boat in False Creek or up the Sunshine Coast, tell us how you moor it.
Calgary Boat & Sportsman Show 2027
Fri Feb 19 to Sun Feb 21, 2027. Calgary, BMO Centre. Booth number coming soon.
In 2026 we were at the Calgary Boat & Outdoors Show at the BMO Centre. For 2027 our booking is the Calgary Boat & Sportsman Show, same building, same time of year. Alberta lake people ask us about short seasons, wind on open reservoirs and fitting everything into an SUV for the drive to the lake. Bring your vehicle and lake details.
BC Home + Garden Show 2027
Thu Feb 25 to Sun Feb 28, 2027. Vancouver, Vancouver Convention Centre. Booth 1302.
A home show is a different crowd. Plenty of people stop by because they have a backyard pool, a pond or a lot on the lake and never thought an inflatable dock would fit their setup. This is a good one if you want to sit in the POP Up Chairs and stand on a dock without a crowd of boaters around you.
Calgary Home + Garden Show 2027
Feb 26 to Mar 1, 2027. Calgary, BMO Centre. Booth number coming soon.
This one overlaps with the BC Home + Garden Show, so the Calgary booth and the Vancouver booth run at the same time. Pool and acreage questions are the norm here. If you are thinking about a dock for a backyard pool, measure the pool and check the liner type before you come in.
Edmonton Boat & Sportsman Show 2027
Thu Mar 11 to Sun Mar 14, 2027. Edmonton, Edmonton EXPO Centre. Booth number coming soon.
The Edmonton Boat and Sportsman Show is where Alberta anglers and cabin owners come to plan the season. Expect questions about fishing off a dock, weedy and shallow shorelines, and boats that go in the back of a truck instead of on a trailer. Bring photos of your shoreline. They answer more questions than a description can.
Toronto Sportsmen's Show 2027
Thu Mar 18 to Sun Mar 21, 2027. Mississauga, International Centre. Booth number coming soon.
Anglers, hunters and cottage people who like a boat that can go anywhere. The Rover Marine boats get a lot of attention here, and so do docks used as fishing platforms. If you are comparing motors, bring the details of what you already own.
Edmonton Home + Garden Show 2027
Mar 26 to Mar 29, 2027 (Easter weekend). Edmonton, Edmonton EXPO Centre. Booth 2155.
It falls on Easter weekend in 2027, so plan around family plans and expect a different crowd mix on the Sunday. Backyard pools, acreage ponds and lake lots are the usual conversations. Booth 2155 again.
Spring Cottage Life Show 2027
Thu Apr 1 to Sun Apr 4, 2027. Mississauga, International Centre. Booth number coming soon.
The Spring Cottage Life Show is the cottage-country crowd at its most focused: people opening up in a few weeks and fixing the waterfront for the summer. Most questions are about sizing a dock for a whole family, anchoring on a rocky or sloped bottom, and what comes out before freeze-up. Bring your depth and bottom type if you know them.
Ottawa Cottage Life & Backyard Show 2027
Apr 10 to Apr 12, 2027. Ottawa. Booth number coming soon.
The last show of our season and the closest one to launch. Ottawa Valley, Rideau and Gatineau cottagers come in with very specific plans by April, which makes for good, quick conversations. Venue details will be on the organizer's site.
Kelowna Boat Show and Vernon Boat Show 2027
Late spring 2027, dates to come.
These are the home-water shows for us, a short drive from the Kelowna shop. Dates and booth details are not set yet. We will add them here as soon as they are confirmed.

Will there be show pricing at your booth?
Ask at the booth on the day. Show offers are set close to each show and change from one to the next, so we do not publish them in advance and cannot promise a discount before the show.
What should I bring to a boat or cottage show?
Measurements of your dock space, boat swim platform or storage spot, the water depth and bottom type where the gear will sit, the number of people and pets who will use it, and photos of your shoreline. With those, we can give you a straight answer on size in a few minutes.
Do I need a permit for an inflatable dock?
It depends on where you are. Rules vary by province, municipality, conservation authority and shoreline, so check with your local authority before you anchor anything. For boating rules, check Transport Canada's current guidance.
What if I cannot make it to a show?
Shop online or call the Kelowna shop at 1-800-399-5260. We ship across Canada from Kelowna, and the team can walk you through the same sizing questions over the phone that we would answer at the booth.
