MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — WMS attendees can participate in a live machinery auction on the show floor beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, November 3. The WMS Live Auction, in partnership with Boss Auctions, will allow attendees to participate at the show or online via the auction’s website. A professional auctioneer will conduct the auction of used, high-value woodworking machinery.

The auction will be held on the WMS Live Stage, adjacent to Taurus Craco’s booth.  Taurus Craco is the parent company of Boss Auctions.  The auction will occupy 5,500 square feet of the WMS show floor. In addition to Taurus Craco's offerings, equipment, materials, and supplies from other WMS exhibitors will be offered at the auction on consignment.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Skills Canada.Skills/Compétences Canada. The organization was founded in 1989 as a national, not‐for‐profit that works with employers, educators, labour groups, and governments to promote skilled trade and technology careers among Canadian youth. Go to skillscompetencescanada.com.

The auction is a cooperative venture between Boss Auctions and the Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference and Expo, which is owned and operated by CCI Canada, a division of CCI Media Llc.
