Darcy Hope
Darcy Hope is the Manager of the Lower Mainland Home Expos and the Operations Manager for all shows. He is responsible for transforming a dry-floor ice arena or recreation center into a Home Show, where local companies can showcase their best work and meet potential customers face to face. Darcy grew up with the Home Expos, so he is the problem solver, improvising when needed, ensuring the show goes off without a hitch. In the office, he is the go-to man for getting group lunches, and always has an interesting fact you didn’t know you needed to know.

Romeo
Romeo was Darcy’s dog, and an integral part of the office team. He would greet you at the door and tell you he never gets treats, even if you just gave him one! He was everyone’s best friend, and often let himself out for a walk when he wanted. The rest of the time, you’d find him sleeping wherever he feels like it at the office.
Romeo passed away in 2019 and his absence is noticed daily.
Doug Hope
Doug Hope was the Founder of Evergreen Exhibitions. He put on his first show in 1986, producing 18 events each year and grew to be BC’s #1 Consumer Show Producer. Doug visited the office daily and shared his vast knowledge with his staff. He enjoyed his semi-retirement playing golf, hockey, and riding his motorcycles.
Doug passed away in 2018, and is deeply missed.
