Classic gaming exhibitions in Toronto Canada?

[Rik]

I was looking at the "FEATURES" section here at AA,and its quite obvious all the GREAT classic gaming shows are in the U.S.,AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.Guess thats because most programmers and everyone else involved are IN the U.S.My question is,do any of those shows come to the TORONTO CANADA area?,and how do you find out?The closest thing i've seen was a COMIC BOOK AND FIGURINE show that came here,and i found out about it through a friend who knew someone who was vending there,there was no advertising WHATSOEVER,no radio,tv,nothing,nada.God damn id love to go to a CLASSIC GAMERS EX!,but to travel to texas or california to do so,is not possible for me ...EDIT,oops!should of posted in "EVENTS",SORRY!

not much of the sort here in Canada; there is an annual event called Arcadia in Montreal, but it's more geared to newer stuff I believe. The next best thing is a semi-annual swap meet that happens with the members of www.cgcc.ca. Usually around the GTA. Always some good stuff.

Actually, thanks to the efforts of guys like Daniel Bienvenu, Arcadia usually has a small retro section, tucked away in a corner of the show floor. I don't know if the retro section will be back this year. Heck, I'm not even sure there will be an Arcadia event in 2007...

I'm in TO too and I've always wondered if there was any gaming cons going on here. It's a huge city and it always seems like something is going on.

Rik, I don't expect that Sci Fi and Comic Expo to have much, though I will likely check it out this August for the Star Wars factor regardless

I've been recently told by Daniel Bienvenu (newcoleco) that there will be an Arcadia festival held in Toronto later this year, and that it will last several days. I think it's going to happen soon after the Montreal edition, in November. My memory is fuzzy about the dates Daniel told me...
