Expected to attract nearly five times the number of exhibitors it drew when it first started in 1993, the 24th edition of the Parents and Kids Fair will run in Montréal on April 7-8-9-10, 2016, at Place Bonaventure. The 3rd instalment of the Québec City edition of the Fair will take place April 29-30 and May 1, 2016, at ExpoCité. This type of success could only be attained through, among other things, the tenacious energy and enthusiasm of the Fair’s founding president, Louise Benoit. “Now more than ever, in today’s fast-paced world, parents and expectant parents need guidance, tools and resources to make informed decisions. I remember thinking I could have used an event like this when I was pregnant with my daughter, Marie-Soleil! And it’s precisely the lack of help and resources at the time that prompted me to start a parenting fair for families with kids ages 0 to 6. We’ve come a long way over these last 24 years, and I am so happy we’ve recently been able to bring the Fair to Québec City as well. Being from Lévis, this feels very much like a homecoming,” remarks an emotional Benoit.
