Message From The Editor
The value of FaceTime
Although we’re not surprised to see this happen, the sudden change in Canada’s COVID case counts has forced the cancellation of the Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver boat shows in just the last week; mere weeks from the planned show openings.
The disappointment will be significant among show goers and the industry alike, and the loss of time and effort people have put into planning and building their displays is very regrettable.
Nobody could be more disappointed than the show organizers I’m sure, but at every level, I think the loss of “face time” is really the greatest loss.
