Important Information about COVID-19
It’s important that we protect the General Managers as they will be returning to their respective communities in the Arctic directly after the trade show. The communities we serve, and support have limited access to health care services, and we cannot be responsible for the transmission of Covid-19.
As we get closer to the trade show a determination will be made to ensure if it’s safe to proceed with an in-person show. All Covid-19 precautions will be in effect at the trade show.
Please Note: Government guidelines and restrictions will be followed for this event. We will provide further updates as required.
If you are not feeling well PLEASE STAY HOME. People displaying visible cold or flu symptoms will not be allowed into the facility.
