The 2021 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Cancels 2021 Show


For nearly a century,


becoming a champion at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has served as an inspirational and aspira- tional goal for Canadians in food, agriculture and eques- trian sport. Due to the ongo- ing international impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after considerable re- search and consultation, The Royal’s Board of Directors today made the dishearten- ing decision to cancel the in- person 2021 Royal Agricul- tural Winter Fair, in favour of returning to an education focused online experience this year. However, in No-


vember 2022, The Royal will mark its 100th Anniver- sary. We are working hard to make it bigger and stronger than ever and are looking forward to celebrating with you in person. “Initially, we were op-


timistic that we would be able to gather at Exhibition Place this year to celebrate Canadian excellence in food, agriculture and eques- trian sport. But as the uncer- tainty


surrounding


COVID-19 continues to cre- ate havoc around the world, it became clear that we weren’t going to be able to host The Royal in a tradi-


tional way,” stated Charlie Johnstone, Chief Executive Officer at The Royal. “Our exhibitors and competitors put everything they’ve got


into the pursuit of a champi- onship, and we owe them a world-class showcase for their efforts. We’re simply not in a place to guarantee


the stability and assurances necessary to plan their paths forward to compete at an elite level.” The Royal Agricultural


Winter Fair is the largest combined indoor agricul- tural fair and international equestrian competition in the world. It is a truly unique event comprised of many components, includ- ing sporting events, live- stock shows, trade shows, family attractions, and top- ranked international eques- trian competitions. In a typical year, The Royal brings together thousands of competitors and animals and nearly 300,000 guests to celebrate the best in agricul- ture, local food, and eques- trian competition. We do not take this responsibility


lightly. The Royal’s Board of Directors, staff and man- agement remain committed to creating a safe and healthy space for everyone to gather, compete and cele- brate when the time is right. “We’re excited to be


setting our sights on 2022, which will mark The Royal’s 100th Anniversary,” concluded Johnstone. “As we approach our second century, The Royal is more relevant than ever, and it is our privilege to be Canada’s home for local food, agricul- tural and equestrian excel- lence.”
