Organizers of the Saint John Home Show have postponed this weekend’s event due to concerns over COVID-19.
It came just hours after the province’s top doctor recommended that any mass gatherings be cancelled or postponed.
“This decision was not taken lightly, but the health and safety of our exhibitors, partners, visitors and contractors is our top priority,” said Master Promotions, the event’s organizer, in a statement.
The event was scheduled to take place at TD Station from Friday through Sunday.
Organizers said they will continue to monitor information from Public Health, the regional health authority and the provincial government.
“Once the all-clear has been received to resume holding events again, we will look at rescheduling the Saint John Home Show,” they said.
