With the extension of public gathering limits into the Toronto summer months, the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), as it has been known and loved by generati...ons of visitors, will not be able to proceed in 2021. Today’s announcement by the City of Toronto to extend the current cancellation of in-person City-led and City-permitted major outdoor events through to September 7, will impact major festivals and events for a second year in a row, including the CNE which was scheduled to take place August 20 to September 6, 2021. The CNEA is committed to working closely with its many partners, including the City of Toronto and provincial and local public health authorities, to plan towards a phenomenal event in 2022, when we can again come together in large numbers to celebrate. But we need adequate COVID-relief funding from the federal and provincial governments to see it through. says John Kiru, President of the Canadian National Exhibition Board of Directors. What happens in the next few months will be a watershed moment for the organization and the legacy of Canada’s largest fair, says Darrell Brown, CNE Executive Director. Today’s announcement by the City means that the CNE will have to reassess the financial viability of surviving a second consecutive year of lost revenues totaling up to $70 million. The CNE is governed by the CNE Association (CNEA), which is a not-for-profit agricultural organization. Since 2013, the CNE has been financially independent and responsible for producing the large-scale 18-day event out of its own resources without any sustained government funding. The revenue generated each year is reinvested into the next year; therefore, the cancellations and financial losses of 2020 and 2021 will have a consequential impact on the future of the CNE. CNE organizers plan to provide more updates in the coming weeks. Visit https://www.theex.com/2021-cne-message to read the full press release.
