Beware of fraudulent hotel solicitations

You may be receiving fraudulent enquiries from companies claiming to be working on behalf of or with CHFA. They include offers for everything from hotel accommodations, to attendee lists, to booth sales. This is a reminder that hotels with our show block can only be booked through the links on this page.

This fraudulent activity has grown in recent years and we advise everyone to be careful when engaging with companies who are not affiliated with CHFA. All of our official show service providers are noted on our website (coming soon).

We have tried many times over the years to stop this activity. Unfortunately these companies often do not originate in Canada and do not adhere to Canadian law when it comes to spamming. If you would report this activity to the The Spam Reporting Centre at spam@fightspam.gc.ca, it may help to curb this activity in future. 

The Spam Reporting Centre gathers intelligence to support the enforcement of Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). If you are concerned about an activity that you believe may be in violation of CASL, you can bring it to the attention of the three government agencies responsible for enforcing CASL (the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the Competition Bureau and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada) by making a submission to the Spam Reporting Centre.
