Large P.A. trade show postponed due to COVID-19

The P.A. Exhibition Association has announced the Focus on Women Trade Show and Sale will not take place as planned this weekend due to the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

The annual event attracts vendors from across Western Canada. Organizers expected 3,000 to 4,000 people over the course of the two-day gathering.

“We just figured with the high risk at the moment it was in ours and community’s best interest to postpone it to a later date,” P.A. Exhibition Association President Rob Ross told paNOW. “We’re going to confirm a new date once the risk subsides a little bit.”
