International Women’s Day at the National Home Show
2026-03-08 15:00 - 16:30 | 100 Princes’ Blvd, 100 Princes' Blvd, Toronto, ON
I’ll be at Canada’s largest home and garden event — the National Home Show — and on Sunday, March 8, I’ll be joining the International Women’s Day panel on the Enbridge Main Stage.
This special day celebrates women in design, renovation, and the skilled trades with a full lineup of inspiring conversations and industry leaders.
I’m honoured to be part of a panel alongside:
Sherry Holmes, TV Personality & Contractor
and
Sarah Keenleyside HGTV’s The County, A-List Designer & TV Personality
…and additional speakers to be announced.
Together, we’ll be talking about building careers, breaking barriers, and what it really looks like to work — and lead — in spaces that haven’t always made room for women.
If you’re attending the show that weekend, come by the Enbridge Main Stage and join us.
The full schedule and speaker lineup will be released in February 2026.

Before You Panic–What Every New Homeowner Should Know
2026-03-13 13:00 - 14:00 | 100 Princes’ Blvd, 100 Princes' Blvd, Toronto, ON
I’ll be speaking at Canada’s largest home and garden event, the National Home Show, running March 6–15, 2026 at the Enercare Centre in Toronto.
If you’re already planning to attend the show — or even thinking about it — I’d love for you to join me at the Main Stage on Friday, March 13 at 1:00 PM.
You’re coming for the inspiration, the ideas, the experts, and the scale of it all. Come by the stage and spend an hour getting steady about your own home.

The Session
Owning a home for the first time comes with a learning curve.

A breaker trips.
A toilet keeps running.
You notice moisture where there shouldn’t be any.

Your brain goes straight to: This is going to cost thousands.
But most of the time? Your house isn’t breaking — it’s communicating.
In this practical and steady main stage presentation, Tammy Watson — Home & Farm Editor at Harrowsmith Magazine and founder of Canadian Handywoman — walks you through what new homeowners actually need to understand first.
With a background in consumer protection and years as a professional handywoman, Tammy teaches you how to move from panic to perspective.

What You’ll Learn

The essential “Big Three” systems every homeowner should understand

How to tell the difference between normal maintenance and a true emergency

The early signs your home gives before small issues become big ones

Where to draw the line between a confident DIY repair and calling a licensed professional

How to think clearly before making expensive decisions

This session is not about memorizing complicated mechanics.
It’s about learning how your home works — so you can respond instead of react.

Who This Is For

First-time homeowners
Recent condo or house buyers
Anyone who skipped a deep dive during the purchase process
Homeowners who want confidence without becoming full-time DIYers

Whether you’ve just moved into a downtown condo or a suburban classic, this talk will help you feel more grounded in your own space.

What You’ll Walk Away With
You’ll leave with:

A simple 30-day homeowner checklist
A clearer understanding of your home’s logic
The confidence to pause before panicking
A practical framework for handling the unexpected

No overwhelm.
No scare tactics.
Just clear, calm guidance.

Sink & Faucet Repair Basics

📍 Unit 102-650 Cataraqui Woods Dr, at Gardiners Road, Kingston

The Promise
Master your plumbing on a real sink mock-up before you ever touch your own pipes.
👉 Reserve one of 8 spots
Why This Workshop Exists
Small plumbing issues turn into big stress fast.
A dripping faucet wastes water. A clogged P-trap becomes an emergency. But the biggest drain isn’t the leak — it’s the mental load of not knowing what’s happening under your own sink.
Understanding your home reduces stress, saves money, and builds independence. This isn’t about becoming a plumber.
It’s about not feeling helpless in your own house.
What Makes This Different
You won’t just watch. You’ll work on a custom sink mock-up rig (no running water, no pressure, no risk).
You’ll:

Feel the tension of the wrench
Practice removing and reinstalling parts
Make mistakes safely
Build muscle memory before you ever touch your own sink

No rushing. No mansplaining. No one taking the tools out of your hands.
In Two Hands-On Hours, You’ll Learn:

How to safely shut off water and avoid a flood.
The difference between washer and cartridge faucets — and how to diagnose each.
Remove and reinstall a faucet confidently.
Take apart and clean the drain properly (the #1 cause of slow sinks).
What you actually need — and what’s overkill.
When to DIY — and when to call a plumber.

Let’s go from “What if I mess this up?” To: “I can handle this!”
Choose Your Experience
The Essential Workshop – $85
✔ Full 2-hour hands-on workshop
✔ Practice time with the mock sink
✔ Pro-grade Teflon tape
✔ “No-Panic” Sink Repair Guide
The Ready-For-Anything Bundle – $120
✔ Everything in the Essential Workshop
✔ Sink Saviour Bundle, including:

Low-profile catch bucket (fits tight cabinets)
Replacement P-trap assembly
Zip-It drain cleaning tool

Best value for those who want to leave fully equipped.
This Workshop Is For You If:

You’re a new homeowner tired of feeling unsure
You’re managing repairs on your own
You’ve used tools before but want clarity
You’re done avoiding plumbing because it feels intimidating

This is practical, foundational confidence.
This Is NOT For:

Licensed plumbers.
Trade certification seekers.
Full renovation training.

This is real-world homeowner skill-building.
My Guarantee to You
If you don’t leave feeling significantly more confident handling a sink leak, come talk to me at the end of the night and I’ll make it right.
No stress. No leaks. Just empowerment.
Seats are intentionally limited so everyone gets real sink time.

Intro to Your Toolbox Intensive May 30 2026
2026-05-30 10:00 - 14:00 | Wallbridge Loyalist & the 401, Belleville, Belleville, ON
Intro to Your Toolbox Intensive (4-Hour Hands-On Session)
Got tools sitting at home you don’t use… or standing in the aisle thinking “I should know this”? You’re not alone — and you’re not behind. Join me, Tammy from Canadian Handywoman and the Home & Farm editor for Harrowsmith, for a 4-hour, hands-on intensive designed to help you finally feel comfortable using the tools you’ve been avoiding. This isn’t a quick overview. This is where you actually learn how to use them. Designed by women, for women, this session gives you the time, space, and support to get your hands on the tools, try things out, and build real confidence — not just watch someone else do it.
Why This Workshop Exists
Most women were never actually shown how to use tools in a way that builds real confidence.

So things get put off.
Tools go unused.
And even small jobs feel bigger than they need to be.

This workshop exists to change that. You’ll get the time, space, and support to actually use the tools, understand how they work, and feel comfortable doing it yourself. Because once you stop guessing, everything gets easier. And you start seeing your home as something you can handle — not something that handles you.
What you’ll learn:

How to confidently use essential tools like a drill, driver, and more
What each tool is for — and when to use it
How to choose the right tool and fastener for the job
How to handle tools safely and with control
The basics of materials like wood, screws, and anchors
How to connect it all so you can actually get started on your own projects

This isn’t a sit-back-and-watch kind of workshop. You’ll be using the tools yourself, asking questions, and figuring it out in a supportive, no-pressure space. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try.
Event Details

Date: Saturday, May 30th 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Location: Wallbridge Loyalist Road & the 401
Cost: $249 (HST included)
Format: Hands-on, in-person
Spots: Limited to 6 participants
Tools provided

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing, start using the tools you already have (or finally know what to buy), and feel capable in your own space — this is your starting point.
This Workshop Is For You If:

You’re a homeowner who’s tired of feeling unsure
You’re handling things on your own and want to feel more confident
You’ve used tools before but still second-guess yourself
You’ve been avoiding small fixes because they feel more complicated than they should

This Is NOT For:

Licensed tradespeople
Anyone looking for certification or formal training
Full renovation or advanced-level work

This is about real-world skills and practical confidence in your own home.

this one changes how you see your home and what you’re capable of. Light refreshments will be available.

This isn’t a quick overview. This is where you actually learn how to use them. Designed by women, for women, this session gives you the time, space, and support to get your hands on the tools, try things out, and build real confidence — not just watch someone else do it.
Why This Workshop Exists
Most women were never actually shown how to use tools in a way that builds real confidence.

So things get put off.
Tools go unused.
And even small jobs feel bigger than they need to be.

This workshop exists to change that. You’ll get the time, space, and support to actually use the tools, understand how they work, and feel comfortable doing it yourself. Because once you stop guessing, everything gets easier. And you start seeing your home as something you can handle — not something that handles you.
What you’ll learn:

How to confidently use essential tools like a drill, driver, and more
What each tool is for — and when to use it
How to choose the right tool and fastener for the job
How to handle tools safely and with control
The basics of materials like wood, screws, and anchors
How to connect it all so you can actually get started on your own projects

This isn’t a sit-back-and-watch kind of workshop. You’ll be using the tools yourself, asking questions, and figuring it out in a supportive, no-pressure space. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try.
