Every year in Ottawa there is a moment when winter finally begins to loosen its grip.
The days stretch a little longer. The sun feels warmer. And people begin to imagine the next season of life at home.
For many homeowners across our city, that moment arrives when the Ottawa Home and Garden Show returns to the EY Centre, March 19–22, 2026.
For four days, thousands of homeowners gather under one roof with a shared curiosity. They come looking for inspiration, meeting trusted professionals, and exploring the possibilities of what their homes might become in the seasons ahead.
And for our team, it has become one of the most meaningful traditions of the year.
Why the Hamre Real Estate Team Shows Up Every Year
At the Hamre Real Estate Team, powered by RE/MAX Boardwalk, we believe that great homeownership goes far beyond the day a family receives their keys.
Owning a home is an evolving journey.
A place that grows with your life.
A space that adapts to changing needs, new dreams, and future chapters.
That is why each year we proudly provide VIP tickets to thousands of our clients so they can attend the Ottawa Home and Garden Show as our guests.
It is our small way of saying thank you, and of encouraging our clients to continue investing in the places that mean the most to them.
Because when homeowners stay connected to ideas, improvements, and inspiration, something powerful happens.
They protect the value of their homes.
They elevate their everyday lifestyle.
And they build lasting satisfaction in one of the most important investments they will ever make.
A Place Where Ideas Turn Into Possibilities
Walking through the show is an experience that sparks imagination.
Beautiful garden installations hint at the outdoor spaces that will soon return with spring.
Kitchen designers share ideas that turn everyday meals into memorable gatherings.
Builders, landscapers, and renovation specialists offer guidance that helps homeowners move forward with confidence.
For many people, it is the first moment of the year where the thought appears:
“What could we create next in our home?”
And that question often leads to meaningful changes, from small upgrades that improve daily living, to renovations that dramatically enhance a property’s long-term value.
The First True Sign of Spring in Ottawa
Longtime attendees will tell you something special about this event.
It does more than showcase home ideas.
It signals that spring is finally on the horizon.
You see it in the garden displays filled with fresh greenery.
You feel it in the conversations about backyard patios, landscaping, and outdoor living.
You sense it in the excitement of homeowners already imagining summer evenings in their own spaces.
For many Ottawa families, the Home & Garden Show has become a yearly ritual that marks the transition from winter to possibility.
The Gratitude We Hear Every Year
One of the most rewarding parts of this tradition is the feedback we receive from our clients.
Each year, thousands attend using the VIP tickets we provide.
And every year we hear the same message.
“Thank you for thinking of us.”
“We loved going.”
“It gave us great ideas for our home.”
Those messages remind us why this event matters.
Real estate is not just about buying and selling houses. It is about helping people enjoy, improve, and feel proud of the homes they live in every day.
