The Fall 2026 fair lineup is here — new venues, bigger opportunities, same great energy.
Quick refresher: same event, two names. Recruit in Canada refers to the fairs for International exhibitors, while SchoolFinder Fairs is the name used for Canadian institutions. No matter the name, the goal is the same — to help you connect with prospective students, parents, and counsellors.
This fall we’re offering powerful recruitment tools:
- QRConnect™ lets you easily scan and save the contact details of any student who visits your booth, and we’ll set up automated email replies to your fair leads to simplify your post-fair follow-up.
- The High School Visit Planner helps you identify the best schools to visit in each city while you’re at the fairs.
- And you’ll also receive a full list of event registrants who opted in to receive further information from exhibitors.
Here is the Fall 2026 fair lineup:
Calgary | September 26
New venue!
We’re taking the fair to the WinSport Event Centre on Saturday, September 26 — a well-known and easily accessible venue for students coming from all across the region.

New venue + Counsellor Networking Day!
We’re heading to the beautiful Marriott Pinnacle Downtown in downtown Vancouver. This year’s event includes a dedicated Counsellor Networking Day on Monday, September 28.
