The Fraser Valley Trade and Exhibition Centre or TRADEX is the second largest facility of its kind in Abbotsford, British Columbia. It is operated by the Tourism Abbotsford Society and hosts around 90 events every year. These events are run by independent companies or people (aka. Show Managers) who are subject to TRADEX policies and procedures. The events vary in type and include consumer shows, trade shows, banquets, agricultural shows, special events, meetings, sporting events, outdoor events, weddings, product launches, film shoots, and ride and drives.

The building has an H-shaped layout of two {{convert|60000|sqft|m2}} halls which can be used independently or for a single large exhibition. It has nine hangar-style doors of varying sizes, the biggest of which allows the passage of objects as large as {{convert|90|ft|m}} wide and {{convert|19|ft|m}} high.

The centre hosts the bulk of its events between September to May, during which time events are run almost every weekend. During the rest of the year, the centre plays host to fewer events, and most of these are outdoor events.

History

The centre was constructed as a joint project between the BC Pavilion Corporation (BC PavCo) the Provincial Government, the Municipal Government and Airshow Canada, and was completed in 1991. It was managed by BC PavCo until 2003 when the centre was purchased by the City of Abbotsford and Tourism Abbotsford contracted to take over the operation of the centre.

Additional information

  • 3 additional meeting rooms, of varying sizes.
  • A show office with a private meeting room/lounge.
  • One loading bay with 2 loading bay doors.
