The town of Gander has postponed a scheduled performance by Canada’s Snowbirds set for August 21.
The decision was made due to COVID restrictions in place.
Mayor Percey Farwell says that even with COVID restrictions gradually lifting, it doesn’t look like they will be able to offer the type of experience they’d like.
He says they would usually have various associated events on the ground, but those aspects would have to be cancelled.
The cost of running the show is about $25,000, and he says it’s difficult to generate those kinds of funds without other events.
Farwell understands people will be disappointed but the town is working with the Snowbirds around potential 2022 dates.
