Apparel & Textile Sourcing Canada (ATSC), the country’s leading apparel and textile sourcing event, is marking its 10th edition in 2025 with two high-impact shows—one in Montreal on September 26 alongside Montreal Fashion Week, and the main event in Toronto from September 29 to October 1. This dual-city format underscores the event’s significance and strategic expansion.
Expect over 200 global manufacturers showcasing a wide array of apparel and textile solutions—from essentials to trend-forward offerings. Emphasis is placed on low minimum order quantities (MOQs) and diversified product and country sourcing, offering Canadian buyers greater flexibility and access to global innovation.
ATSC’s programming extends beyond the exhibition floor, featuring free seminars and panels that tackle pressing industry themes: tariffs, trade policy shifts, sustainability, supply chain diversification, and inflation. The Canadian Apparel Federation continues its longstanding involvement, with Executive Director Bob Kirke delivering a keynote titled “State of the Industry” and moderating a high-level panel with Julie Hughes, incoming President of the U.S. Fashion Industry Association, on North American trade dynamics.
A standout addition is trend forecasting by Peclers Paris, which debuts at the event with daily on-site presentations and the reveal of its 2026 lookbooks at a specially curated Trends booth—bringing forward creative vision and design direction to attendees.
In Montreal, ATSC’s collaboration with mmode, the fashion cluster behind Montreal Fashion Week, adds vibrancy and localized relevance—reinforcing the city as a growing North American fashion hub.
Supported by an extensive network of trade and export partners across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond, ATSC 2025 remains a vital conduit for global sourcing and trade engagement. Registration for both events is free, extending an open invitation to brands, designers, retailers, and sourcing professionals to connect, collaborate, and reshape the future of apparel sourcing in Canada.
