British  Artiques  Roadshow  Tour of Canada  Spring 2011

*NOTE: We are not associated in any way with the travelling Roadshows who lie to people about the values of their items and attempt to BUY from Canadians. This clearly is an underhand and disgusting practise and at all costs should be avoided by serious minded individuals

who would be better off going to a local Pawn broker!

 Join us on a brand new Canadian Artiques roadshow tour at Waneta Plaza in picturesque Trail, British Columbia this May 27th and 28th.

 The antique and art experts of the British Artiques roadshow are back in Canada again this spring with the ever popular Canadian appraisal roadshow tour of antiques and collectibles appraisals events going right across Canada from coast to coast.

 Spectacular sell out Canadian antiques roadshow style events are expected again this year across the country, with antiques and art appraisal roadshows starting on the east coast at the end of April before heading west to British Columbia and Alberta.

 We are particularly delighted to be back in British Columbia this May at the invitation of the Waneta Plaza Shopping Centre, the largest mall in West Kootenay for a special two day roadshow event. As this is the only roadshow we have scheduled in British Columbia this tour, it is expected to sell out rapidly and bring in people from all over British Columbia from as far away as Vancouver and Kamloops.

Remember, Waneta Plaza's roadshow is by appointment only to avoid long queues and disappointment.

 With well over a decade of hugely successful antiques roadshow type appraisal events across Canada behind us, the British Artiques roadshow and its expert art and antiques appraisers are always pleased to be asked back to Canada for another tour of antique and family heirloom appraisal roadshows across the Dominion and in particular we look forward to a great roadshow of antiques appraisals hosted by the Waneta Plaza for the Trail British Columbia community this May.

 For many years, the roadshow organisers have tried to fit rural BC into the busy antiques and art roadshow event schedule without success as the major cities have always got in first. This year we are delighted that the Waneta Plaza's management team responded so swiftly and offered to bring the British Roadshow to Trail for a special two day roadshow appraisal event and that the Waneta Plaza are hosting the roadshow for the benefit of the whole of the city of Trail and the West Kootenay community this May 27th and 28th.

 The roadshow team are convinced that with such a strong contingent of the Trail community having their ancestral roots firmly planted in Britain and Europe that Trail's Waneta Plaza will abound in treasures and family heirlooms that people are just itching to learn about.

 Over the years, Canadian communities have turned out to the British Artiques roadshow antiques appraisal events in their thousands for antiques, art and collectibles appraisals at packed roadshow venues across the Dominion. In fact ever since the first ever British Artiques roadshow was hosted twelve years ago in Ontario, we have been packed with eager Canadian's yearning to know about their precious belongings.

Roadshow antiques and art appraisal events are always sold out early here in Canada with people keen to find out whether Grannies heirloom is just trash or treasure. The roadshow's organisers and appraisers are sure that the Waneta Plaza in Trail, British Columbia's, antique and art appraisal roadshow event will be just as successful

 Frankly, its nearly always a treasure of one kind or another that the roadshow appraiser sees and with nearly $60 Million dollars worth of roadshow antiques and collectibles showing up already across Canada, the British Artiques roadshow is looking forward to coming back to British Columbia to unravel some more myths and legends, appraise and value family heirlooms for the Trail community and hopefully help and advise you professionally, entertainingly and without bias or prejudice.

 With the information already leaked that the Artiques roadshow was coming to Trail and the Waneta Plaza this spring, we're told that the word is already getting around and that the phone will start to ring loud at the Waneta and appointments for booking your antiques appraisal will sell out rapidly.

 Interested parties should recognise that we have no affiliation or connection to the BBC television series and that all appraisals are private and confidential matters and will not be filmed by us. However, it is quite normal that the event is likely to attract local media attention, such as journalists and news crews. Under those conditions alone, your permission may be sought for interview which you are perfectly at liberty to decline.

The roadshow team thanks the Waneta Plaza, its management and parent company Anthem Properties for being the only British Columbia host of a a roadshow on the new Canadian Artiques roadshow Tour for 2011.
