elcome to the spring 2026 issue of Self-Storage Canada! This edition of the magazine honors our 2025 International Facility of the Year winner, Woodbridge Self Storage, a sleek facility in Vaughan, Ont., with a façade befitting a red-carpet gala—down to its clever monogram logo that resembles a tux and bow tie! Not only does Woodbridge Self Storage offer upscale and modern amenities that cater to its local clientele, but it would also pass a white-glove test for cleanliness and receive five stars for customer service. Additional details about this top-notch facility are found within the cover story starting on page 6.

With that award in mind, MSM is now accepting entries for its 2026 Facility of the Year contest. Canadian owners, operators, developers, and management companies are encouraged to submit an entry for a self-storage facility in their portfolio that is worthy of being named the next international winner at THE Show during MSM’s first red-carpet awards gala from Nov. 4 to 6 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga.

Imagine walking on stage, enveloped in applause, to claim a stunning personalized trophy for you remarkable self-storage facility! Within an awe-inspiring setting, this prestigious ceremony, appropriately dubbed the “Oscars of self-storage,” is sure to be a memorable experience for winners and attendees alike!

Find more details about about the annual contest on pages 48 and 49. Please note: Because the winners will be announced live in November at THE Show, the deadlines for submissions are shorter than previous years. To provide ample time for preparations, no late entries will be accepted.

Don’t miss your chance to be a part of self-storage history! Now is the time to get your applications ready for submission and make arrangements to attend. Visit www.modernstoragemedia.com/the-show to learn more.

See you at THE Show!

Best wishes,
