WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEMBERSHIP?

Silver Membership – By application
Silver members can participate in the Alberta Gift + Home Market and have access to all of the money-saving benefits offered by the association. Until a Silver member is invited by the CanGift Board to become a Gold member, they cannot exhibit at the Toronto Gift + Home Market. The invitation to become a Gold exhibiting member is based on space availability within your product category. Silver members do not hold voting privileges of any kind.

Gold Membership – By CanGift Board invitation
Gold members access all the benefits of the association, including voting privileges and the opportunity to exhibit at CanGift markets in Toronto and Alberta.
