Our history

The Northern Ontario Expo will be hosting their 12th annual signature event (TimminsCon 2024) of all things fandom in North Eastern Ontario on April 20th & 21st, 2024 making it the longest running fandom comic con style event in the area.  The show has grown from a small comic book convention attracting 200 fans into a multiple day event that attracts thousands of people from around North Eastern Ontario and beyond.  Every year, TimminsCon offers exciting family-friendly attractions, events, and world-renowned Celebrities. Previous guests include Lou Ferrigno, Daniel Cudmore, Marina Sirtis, Kris Holden-Ried, Meghan Agosta, John Schneider, Amy Allen, Orli Shoshan, Trish Stratus, Lita, Walter E. Jones, Laura Vandervoort and many more.  We have also had replica vehicles such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, the General Lee, Ecto-1A, 1967 Batmobile, 1989 Batmobile and the Delorean Time machine.  The Northern Ontario Expo was originally founded by Jason Denis while being a member of the Schumacher Lions Club back in 2011.  Now, the Northern Ontario Expo is a registered Not for Profit organization with over 10 volunteer board members and are showing no signs of slowing down as they are now preparing to host their 3rd annual Timmins Expo (formerly known as TimminsCon Mini) this September 16th & 17th at the McIntyre Curling Rink.
