Success was in the cards for the 2011 edition of the Canadian Pool & Spa Conference & Expo, organized by the Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada (PHTCC) and held Dec. 5-8. For the first time in years, weather was hardly a factor and a new venue, the Scotiabank Convention Centre (SCCN) in Niagara Falls, Ont., provided attendees with something more than the traditional conference and exposition they were accustomed to. This time, they participated in a full-blown national convention with all the bells and whistles.
