From The Official Ottawa Comicon Page:

“Based on similar popular conventions held throughout North America, the Ottawa Comiccon offers a lot more than just meeting famous guests. It is also a great place to discover independent artists and their creations, numerous merchants selling rare comic books, exclusive toys, pop culture-inspired apparel, well-established companies in the industry and other great surprises along the way. Of course, we would not succeed without our fans. Great purveyors of entertainment, awesome makers of inspiring costumes and maintainers of the pop culture scene, we salute you and are looking forward to seeing you in May!”
