Fall Toronto Expo - Does It Happen?

I am starting to have my doubts that it happens. In Ontario we are inching closer and closer to 1,000 new cases a day. We on the upswing of the fourth wave. In just over a week the kids will be starting back up in school. Kids 11 and under are not eligible for the vaccine yet. I suspect many elementary school outbreaks a few weeks into the school year. That would greatly effect the Expo and having it up and running this Fall.
 
If vaccine passports are required then what are the risks of Covid transmission at the Expo? To me it would be very low, so the show should be able go on.

I'm just hoping us Albertans will have our "vaccine cards" to prove our vaccination status in time.

Very low, sure, but vaccinated people are still getting sick. Include all of the people who have tested negative and then contracted it between that time and the Expo, as well as all of the asymptomatic people who have no clue they are sick, as well as all the false negatives, and the risk is still yours to take. Include the fact that this is droplet based and you have a sea of people speaking and staring downwards all day forcing the illness straight down to the surfaces, this now increases the chance of contracting it via surface. Add the shields which do almost nothing to help, and the reality that there are number of ways around getting in without the vaccine, and improperly worn masks or face coverings, and the choice is all yours. Risk is as risk does.

You only live one life, live yours. And have as much fun as you can doing it!!!
 
Keep in mind though, the Ontario Public Health suggestions for best practices in preventing the spread of Covid are still, and will always be, limit non-essential trips, indoor gatherings, and stay at home. And, after a year and a half, this is pretty much non-existent, so you gotta just do you, boo.
 
So the longer the government delays the vaccine passport. Announcement cancelled on Sept 7th with NO rescheduled date. The less of a chance we have here for a show?
 
Tens of thousands of us in Manitoba already have our MB "Vaccine Passport" cards - maybe the show needs to be held in Manitoba. Heh heh.
 
Tickets are supposed to be on Sale today for the Expo. Logged on and nothing is availble.
 
The site states tickets will be on sale at 5:00pm EST. (I was going to say 5:30 to improve my chances, but thought better of that plan LOL)
 
Purchased for Saturday & Sunday! :D

Edit: I will be wearing a Center Ice Card Cast t-shirt (logo below) for anyone who wants to say hi!

We should met to put a face to the moniker.

On 2nd thought lets not. I do not want to scare anyone.
 
For those that have bought tickets already. I was wondering if they could give me a break down on the price structure. For example.
A full four day pass,3 day pass, two day pass, and of course single days.I sent them an email but they say 24-48 hours for a response.Thanks.
