The Canadian Tire Collectors Club is bringing its Ontario meeting to a new venue this weekend, aligning the gathering with the National Postage Stamp and Coin Show in Mississauga.
The meeting will be held Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale, marking a notable collaboration between the club and one of Canada’s premier numismatic and collectibles events. Organizers say the move is intended to broaden exposure and connect Canadian Tire collectors with a wider audience of hobbyists.
The Canadian Tire Collectors Club has long served as a focal point for enthusiasts of Canadian Tire memorabilia, including Canadian Tire money, gift cards, pins and die-cast trucks. By hosting the meeting alongside the national show, the club is placing itself within a broader collecting landscape that continues to grow and overlap across different areas of the hobby.
The connection is a natural one. Canadian Tire money, in particular, has gained increasing recognition among numismatists as a form of alternative currency and an accessible entry point into collecting. Bringing these collectors together under the same roof reflects the evolving nature of the hobby and the shared interests among its participants.
The meeting will take place in the seminar space at the hotel, with access through the show floor. Admission to the meeting is open to both members and newcomers, although regular show admission of $6 applies. Free parking is available at the venue.
The partnership highlights a broader trend within the hobby, as specialty collecting groups look to expand their reach by aligning with established shows. For attendees, it offers a more diverse experience, bringing together coins, banknotes and a wide range of Canadian collectibles in one setting.
