Exhibitors using a display company other than the official supplier MUST follow the guidelines set out below.
Show Policy Regarding Service Contractors and Independent Contractors
Show management, acting on behalf of all Exhibitors, has appointed official service contractors to perform and provide necessary services and equipment.
Official service contractors are appointed to:
- Ensure the orderly and efficient installation and removal of exhibits.
- Assure the distribution of labour to all Exhibitors according to need.
- Provide sufficient labour to satisfy both Exhibitors and the show.
- Ensure that the proper type and limits of insurance are in force.
- Avoid any conflict with local union regulations and requirements.
- Provide all usual trade show services, including labour. Exhibitors, however, may provide their own supervision or may appoint their own exhibit installation contractor or exhibit display supplier.
Should an Exhibitor wish to have an exhibit installed by a contractor other than the official contractor, the following conditions must be met:
- The Exhibitor must inform show management of the name and address of the contractor and the work to be performed, prior to the commencement of any work at the show site.
- All Exhibitor Appointed Contractors must provide evidence of general liability insurance providing coverage of at least $5,000,000.00 inclusive for bodily injury and/or property damages for each occurrence and all risks in a form acceptable to CANASA.
- Evidence of the supplier insurance shall be provided to show management by September 30 prior to the commencement of any work at the show site. It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to ensure that this is done.
- The Toronto Congress Centre, FREEMAN Group, Lange Transportation and CANASA are to be cross insured on the supplier’s insurance for its operations and services provided for the Security Canada International Security Conference and Exposition.

Electrical Services
Electrical services are provided through Lange Show Services; show management will NOT be providing electrical service. If you plug into the building’s electrical system without first ordering it, they will bill you the on-site charge or disconnect the power.
Electrical orders can be secured by contacting Lange Show Services. Click here to view the electrical options provided and to complete the service order form.
Electrical Equipment Approval
The Ontario Electrical Safety Code (Ontario Regulation 10/02) is the provincial regulation that defines the requirements for electrical installations and electrical products in Ontario. The Electrical Safety Authority is responsible for enforcement of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
Rule 2-022 of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code requires that any electrical equipment that is being displayed, or used in any show/convention/or similar exhibition MUST BE APPROVED. At Trade Shows, unapproved electrical equipment will only be permitted when the Electrical Safety Authority gives permission.
Electrical equipment is considered approved if it bears the certification mark or Field Evaluation label of an organization that has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to approve electrical equipment. If these markings are missing, the equipment is considered to be unapproved. Bulletin 2-7-* shows all approved certification marks or Field Evaluation markings accepted in Ontario.
One of the fundamental requirements for Canadian Standards Association certification is that appropriate approval markings (CSA monogram on label) appear on each device. If such markings are missing, the device must be considered unapproved and subject to special inspection.
Should any of this equipment not conform, it is recommended that you request temporary permission to exhibit while the necessary electrical approval certification is being sought.

Floor Plan
Exhibitors with 4 or more 10×10 booths must provide detailed drawings of their display area to show management by October 1. This will help ensure that the exhibit complies with all rules and regulations and that the facility layout and dimensions have been properly considered in the booth design.

Booth Inclusions
Each booth includes:
- Booth carpet & daily vacuuming

Note: Additional items you may wish to purchase (e.g., electrical, tables, chairs, lead retrieval units, etc.) can be ordered from the Exhibitor Kit, if needed.
Please note we will be using our traditional show colour scheme. The booth drape will be a combination of black/white/red and the aisle carpet will be red.
Floor Loads
The floor load on the Exposition floor is unlimited.
Height Restrictions
The facility height restriction is 16’ in most areas, but less in some due to HVAC equipment. If your island exhibit exceeds 14’ in height please contact show management. Please refer to the exhibit guidelines below regarding the allowable height of the booths, which in most cases is 8’.
Exhibit Guidelines
- All single and in-line booth back walls are restricted to 8 ft. in height and the dividers between the booths to 39.37” in height. No part of the structural display at its full 8 ft. height may extend out more than 5 ft. from the back wall at that height. The remaining frontage may not exceed 39.37” in height to allow for greater visibility of all booths. This includes freestanding products that are part of the display. Any booth located on an outside perimeter wall may go up to a height of 16 ft. (facility permitting). If you are unsure whether your display will meet these requirements please contact show management for clarification.
- An island exhibit is a block of four or more booths with an aisle on all four sides. An island display may go up to a height of 16 ft. (facility permitting). An island exhibit may extend to this height to the boundaries of the space rented.
- An island display may be created at the request of an Exhibitor. If booths must be eliminated in order to create the island, it will be at the cost of the Exhibitor.
Changes to the floor plan are at the discretion of show management. - Prefabricated booths – An Exhibitor planning to use a prefabricated display must ensure that an allowance of one inch (1″) is made on each side of the display to allow for thickness of support poles for standard dividers. Lengths must not exceed nine feet ten inches (9′ 10″), nineteen feet ten inches (19′ 10″), etc.
- All sides and surfaces of the exhibit, including the booth and signs, that are exposed to a view, must be properly finished and decorated. Failure to provide a finished surface may result in a charge for masking the unfinished surface.
- All exposed parts of displays must be draped or finished to present an attractive appearance when viewed from aisles or adjoining exhibits. They must not be objectionable to the other exhibits or to show management. If the required draping is not ordered, the official supplier of exhibit services and equipment, with the approval of show management, may install it and charge the Exhibitor.
- Helium-filled balloons, whether for decorative purposes or distribution to registrants, are not permitted in the exhibit hall.
- All interviews, demonstrations, detailing, or distribution of literature must take place within the booth space assigned to the individual Exhibitors. These activities must not interfere with normal aisle traffic to avoid infringing upon the rights and privileges of other Exhibitors.
- The building’s owners warn that Exhibitors handing out adhesive-backed promotional material will be charged for their removal from the building’s walls and floors.
- No changes may be made which will alter booth location and format, program, advertising or sponsorship content in the last 10 days prior to the show. Any changes are at the discretion of show management.
- Show management reserves the right to adjust or remove an Exhibitor’s display should it exceed the intent of the environment or to accommodate those products that do not fit or that block the sight line of other Exhibitors.

It’s the law!
In accordance with the Occupational Health & Safety Act, the Security Canada trade show requires that all reasonable steps and precautions be taken to protect the health and ensure the safety of all persons involved in the production of its shows. Preventing injury is a key objective; accordingly, every possible measure is taken to provide a safe, healthy work environment. To succeed, these safety initiatives require that every Exhibitor assume responsibility for helping meet this objective. Exhibitors must, therefore, carefully read the applicable sections of the Occupational Health & Safety Act, in order to fully understand their responsibilities as they apply to themselves and their workers while at the show, including all activities within their own booth areas. For more information on the Act, visit the Health & Safety section at www.labour.gov.on.ca.
All persons involved in the move-in/move-out process (i.e. set-up and tear-down of a trade show) must be properly dressed and equipped to work safely in specific areas of the show deemed by the Act, or by an on-site Safety Inspector, as an “industrial” environment which may involve the use of heavy equipment (forklifts etc.), as well as ‘overhead activities’ (hanging signs, lights etc.). These areas, including areas in and around booths, may be marked off with safety cones or caution tape. Only persons wearing hardhats and safety shoes will be permitted into these areas until all work is completed.
Anyone requiring access to the loading dock area including the self loading area must wear safety shoes. Working in sandals, flip-flops, open-toed shoes, bare feet etc. is strictly forbidden on the show floor. Any individual wearing inappropriate footwear will be prevented from entering the show floor by Security Canada staff or security.
Help us ensure everyone involved is safe & protected!
Exhibitors are responsible for the health and safety of all employees and other persons on the show floor who are directly or indirectly under their supervision. As a Security Canada trade show Exhibitor, it is your responsibility to inform or contact all persons you will be hiring (i.e. your staff and any outside contractors hired to set up your booth, bring in your product, or anyone required to be on the show floor during move-in and out), that they must wear appropriate protective footwear as well as any other necessary protective equipment, to keep them safe from injury.
Complete this form to acknowledge that you have read, understand and will comply with the Occupational Health & Safety Act. This also confirms that your staff and all associated
contractors and hired help will be informed of and will comply with the Act and the Security Canada trade show initiatives and policies.
NOTE: Appropriate protective footwear is required at all times at the Security Canada Central trade show during move-in and move-out.
Installation can be coordinated by contacting CCR Solutions. Please click on their “Store” link here.

The containers will be removed and placed in the designated storage area prior to show opening and returned when the show closes.
