Due to safety concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Saskatoon Exhibition will not take place this summer.
On the Prairieland Park webpage, organizers said this is the first time in the exhibition’s 135-year history that they’ve had to cancel the event.
“COVID-19 has changed everything for everyone. The safety of our patrons and staff is incredibly important, and we know that public gatherings put that safety in jeopardy,” said Prairieland Park CEO Mark Regier.
The Saskatoon Ex is managed and hosted by Prairieland Park and attracts 215,000 people annually.
