The Canadian Golf Superintendents Association, PGA of Canada, and National Golf Course Owners Association Canada regrettably announce that the launch of the Canadian Golf Industry Show, planned for this November in Vancouver, must be postponed.
Due to so much COVID-19 related uncertainty about future restrictions on group events and travel, combined with our top priority remaining the ultimate health and safety of all stakeholders, the three partnered Associations mutually agreed to this necessary action.
The decision to proceed or cancel had to be made by this month in order to allow for the necessary lead time to properly manage such a large conference and trade show along with the need to negotiate the necessary cancellation clauses with the host venues.
Dates and locations for 2021 and 2022 options remain on hold, pending further clarity on the status of COVID-19 health risks and government restrictions on such public events.
The Canadian Golf Industry Show features three simultaneous conferences with certain shared content and social activities included. A combined trade show consisting of suppliers from each sector is also a highlight of this exciting new event.
Further announcements will be made individually by the CGSA, PGA of Canada, and NGCOA Canada.
