Show attracts Canada’s BEST Fishing & Hunting
The All-Canada Show, visiting mid-America’s largest cities, will feature Canada’s top fishing and hunting destinations. The 30th annual event also includes free seminars, free maps and travel guides, a free magazine with features and tips on Canadian adventures, free Cabela’s hunting simulator and, on opening night, a free Dardevle 30th anniversary collector lure.
Adventurers interested in traveling to Canada will find a wide variety of destinations including drive in resorts, camps, and lodges, remote fly-in outposts, canoe outfitters, 5-star fly-in lodges and hunting outfitters.
The show is also a resource for planning the perfect adventure. “The key to a successful Canadian trip is proper planning,” says the show’s general manager, Jennifer Young, “That’s the whole premise of the All-Canada Show – we have everything show guests need to plan their trip. The opportunity for show guests to talk, face-to-face, with the owners/operators of these lodges greatly improves their chances of a successful adventure. We work with reputable well established camp and lodge owner/operators.”

Why go to Canada now? Young says, “Canada is a great destination for these and many more reasons: the nature is amazing, seeing wildlife in their natural habitat is an awesome experience (including bears, moose, eagles, fox, deer, arctic turns, and so much more), it is safe to travel in Canada, it is easy to cross the border (bring your passport), and lastly it is close and accessible. Go this year, cross it off of your bucket list, don’t wait another year.”
Show staff and featured speaker Norm “the Great” McCreight use their combined 50 years fishing and hunting expertise on the show’s seminar stage to educate consumers. These informational presentations offer insight into selecting for the perfect destination, choosing the right lodge plan, crossing the border, plus tips on saving money and wilderness safety.
Young also noted, “Our show offers so much variety of type of trips. There are five star resorts and lodges where they provide everything the food, guides, and maid service, we have fly in outpost camps where you are on your own for a week, and we have boat in and drive in camps and lodges that offer many options, you can bring your own food and boat if you would like, or you can hire a guide for a few days, or they will provide everything if you wish. It is your vacation, and the owners/operators want it to be just what you want. They are offering fabulous fishing and hunting that fits in all budgets.”
“If you like Canada, there’s plenty to keep you occupied at the show,” she said, “Although the primary purpose of the show is to select the perfect destination for your adventure, we also offer a variety of information, attractions and entertainment to aid in the process and create a real Canadian atmosphere.”
