“We did have some manufacturers that committed to attending and participating in the show but, quite frankly, there wasn’t enough of them to be fair to those that were going to come, and to be fair to the patrons that want to attend the show,” he said. “It was not going to be the show that we would like to produce. So, unfortunately, it was a tough decision but the association had no choice.
The show regularly attracts 75,000 attendees from across Alberta and Canada, with 20 manufacturers and 300 cars on the floor.Global supply chain issues have hit the automobile industry hard, and trade shows are the latest casualty. “I think they’re working very hard to try to move forward with their auto show . . . but when manufacturers say they’re not going to participate, generally they’re not participating in the country,” he said.Article content
Gillespie said this year’s show would have focused on the evolution of electric vehicle technology, including large displays and an EV ride and drive to give consumers a chance to experience this new generation of vehicles.
