Terms & Conditions
Political Activism
A key aspect of the Home & Cottage Show is the sharing of information in a courteous unchallenging manner. Political activism, such as petitions, trying to change or swaying public opinion on any issue presently before any level of government or in the process of becoming such an issue will be deemed to not be in the best interests of the show or the community and as such Vendors would be denied entry to the show. If by chance any vendor (or their representative) or an attendee exhibits such behaviour, they will be asked to leave immediately, and their space will be forfeited.
Information being shared verbally or via handouts cannot have a political call to action to further a cause nor show any animosity to an individual or organization.
