It is certainly devastating for the event, sport and live entertainment industries (and all the associated suppliers, contractors and the loss of revenues for all levels of government). As the re-opening continues across Canada, what can we expect come fall? One thing for sure: masks will become ubiquitous!

We bring you our latest edition of our media scan. As always, we welcome your feedback and comments.
