Women’s Lifestyle Show 2012 was an outstanding success March 24 & 25. More than 5,250 visitors enjoyed the shopping, demonstrations, speakers, cooking, wine & food sampling and networking. It is enlightening to see so many woman entrepreneurs who are making a niche and creating their own destiny.

A hearty salute to the Funshop presenters – Pat Mussieux, Dr. Laina Shulman, Caird Urquhart and Christine Heck. These industry leaders were very generous with their time to participate in WLS and we were fortunate to have their expertise. Other speakers on the main stage included Erin Bolger (The Happy Baker), Julie Daniluk (Meals that Heal Inflammation), Reena Nerbas (Clean your home with Hamburger), plus awesome energetic demonstrations of NIA and Jazzercise!
A general theme in the talks & discussions all weekend was YOU can do whatever you set your mind to do. There were some sensational testimonials to this with speakers who had overcome huge hurdles to new accomplish new levels of success. Our hats are off to all of YOU!
Thank you all for sharing these two days with us. It was great fun to plan the program all year and then to watch it unfold over the weekend. The planning begins immediately for March 23 & 24, 2013 and we encourage you to send us your ideas for speakers, topics etc.
This website will be updated as the plans progress. Through the year it will intermittently feature our sponsors, exhibitors & speakers plus great ideas we’ve seen, products we’ve used etc.
