National Menopause Show Returns to Mississauga Oct. 17-18

Canada’s leading event dedicated to menopause, healthy aging, and women’s midlife health is back this weekend. The National Menopause Show runs October 17 and 18, 2026, at The International Centre (Hall 5) in Mississauga, Ontario, after moving to a new home following continued growth.

Presented by Shoppers Drug Mart, the show brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, wellness experts, and innovative brands for two days of evidence-based education aimed at helping women confidently navigate perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging.

A New Venue

The move to The International Centre brings several practical upgrades: expanded exhibit space, complimentary parking, convenient access from major highways, and proximity to Toronto Pearson International Airport. Organizers say the changes make it easier for women from across Canada to attend.

Host and Ambassador

Television personality Melissa Grelo is hosting this year’s show. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau returns as the National Menopause Show Ambassador, continuing her advocacy for women’s health, wellness, and open conversations about midlife.

What’s on the Program

The show says it remains committed to trusted, science-backed education at a time when women are often faced with conflicting health information. The 2026 program will explore the latest research and practical strategies on topics including:

Hormone therapy
Cardiovascular health
Brain health
Bone health
Nutrition
Sleep
Weight management
Sexual wellness
Pelvic floor health
Mental health
Skin health
Longevity

“Women are often faced with conflicting health information, which makes personalized, evidence-based care more important than ever,” said Dr. Michelle Jacobsen, a member of the National Menopause Show Medical Advisory Board. “The National Menopause Show provides access to leading experts and the latest research, empowering women to make informed decisions and advocate for their own health.”

The weekend features physician-led educational sessions, keynote presentations, interactive wellness experiences, and a marketplace of products and services for women at every stage of midlife and beyond.

The Vision

“Our vision has always been to create a trusted destination where women feel informed, supported, and inspired,” said Angela Macgregor, Founder of the National Menopause Show. “Too many women are still searching for credible information about perimenopause, menopause and healthy aging. By bringing together Canada’s leading experts, healthcare organizations, and innovative brands, we’re creating an experience that is educational, empowering, and welcoming. Every woman deserves access to evidence-based information that helps her live a healthier, stronger life.”

The Herstasis Health Foundation, a supporter of women’s health education, continues its backing of the show.
