At the start of the dinner, Mr. Steven Sun, President of the Canada-China Realty Professional Association and Chair of the Real Estate Foundation, delivered welcoming remarks.
Mr. Sun reflected on the preparations and achievements of the 8th Expo and extended his heartfelt thanks to all levels of government, supporters from across the community, participating companies, co-organizing chambers of commerce, partners and volunteer teams for their longstanding support of CCRPA. He noted that this year’s success would not have been possible without the trust, dedication and collective efforts of every partner.

At the appreciation dinner, Mr. Sun officially announced the launch of exhibitor recruitment for the 9th CCRPA Real Estate & Home Expo in 2027, with a target of attracting 250 to 300 participating companies. The goal is to further expand the event, bring together industry resources and create more opportunities for businesses to showcase their brands, grow their operations and build partnerships.
In recognition of the support of this year’s exhibitors and co-organizing chambers of commerce, the organizers announced the preliminary exhibitor recruitment arrangements for the 2027 Expo:
- Priority Booth Reservations:Exhibitors and co-organizing chambers of commerce from this year’s Expo will have priority in reserving booths for next year, including the opportunity to secure the same booth locations they occupied this year.
- Flexible Booth Sharing:Subject to the organizers’ approval, two exhibiting companies may share one booth, allowing businesses to arrange their participation according to their individual needs.
- General Exhibitor Recruitment:The remaining booths are scheduled to be offered for general booking in November, with the aim of completing exhibitor recruitment for the 2027 Expo before the end of the year.
By continuing to expand the Expo, deepen cooperation among chambers of commerce and improve participation arrangements, CCRPA aims to build an even more influential platform for business exchange and collaboration across the real estate sector and related industries.
