Support the Passion. Sponsor the Movement.
The Canadian Aquatic Expo is Canada’s premier consumer event dedicated to the vibrant world of aquatics—a space where aquatic culturists, hobbyists, and retailers from across the country unite to celebrate their shared passion. As an event proudly presented alongside the Canadian Pet Expo, this show places aquatic life front and centre like never before.
Sponsoring the Canadian Aquatic Expo means more than just brand visibility—it means supporting a thriving community. This is a unique opportunity to align your brand with an enthusiastic, niche audience that deeply values the beauty, science, and serenity of aquatic ecosystems. These are pet enthusiasts who seek to recreate and preserve the wonder of nature in their own homes—and they’re looking for the right partners to help them do just that.
As a sponsor, your support fuels the continued growth of one of the pet industry’s most passionate segments. From stunning aquascapes to rare fish breeds, your brand will be at the heart of every attraction, including:
The Trans Canada Guppy Competition, uniting breeders from coast to coast.
The Betta Breeders of Canada Best in Show, showcasing the country’s top specimens.
The CAE Aquascaping Competition, where professional aquascapers and retail ambassadors battle for top honours.
Sponsorships not only offer impactful brand activation opportunities—they represent a commitment to preserving and advancing the aquatic hobby for future generations.
Let your brand be part of something bigger. Sponsor the Canadian Aquatic Expo and help us bring nature’s most beautiful ecosystems to life.
