Prairieland Park is now ready to host bigger conferences and conventions than ever before.

Last fall Prairieland Park announced a 4 point 3 million dollar facelift with 3 million dollars coming from Ottawa while Prairieland funded the remainder.

CEO Mark Regier says the upgrades, which are done now, included, new energy efficient power and light systems and 5 new state of the art session rooms with audio-visual systems.

The upgraded 20-thousand square feet will allow Prairieland to  attract larger and more complex trade shows and exhibitions including those in excess of 16-hundred participants.

Regier says, with the exhibition over and following Folkfest and some headline horse racing, from here on in, Prairieland moves into the fall trade and convention centre part of their business.
