The mall’s owners, Montreal-based real estate company Soltron Group, made plans to renovate, and to relocate the exhibit one floor up from its previous location, which was partly underground. The expo was due to reopen this month, just before the movie’s premiere.

According to the charity, the expo has raised nearly $66,000 since 2016.
