A conference planned for May of next year is expected to bring an estimated $475,000 to Saint John.
The Canadian Home Builders’ Association chose the city to host Housing Week in Canada.
“Meetings and conventions generate significant, year-round business for Saint John,” said Victoria Clarke, executive director of Discover Saint John.
“Hosting conferences, like Housing Week in Canada, help create a vibrant visitor economy filling hotels, restaurants, bars and boutiques.”
450 delegates of renovators, home builders and product and material manufacturers will be arriving May 3rd to attend the convention.
The conference will invite renovators, product and material manufacturers and other workers within the residential construction industry to discuss the residential construction industry.
