Sled Island 2020 Cancellation

https://www.sledisland.com/slog/2020...0-cancellation

Unfortunately, the scope and nature of our festival make it impossible for us to simply postpone the event until later in the year (to learn more, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions below). However, we have every intention of returning in June 2021 and are committed to supporting our community to the best of our abilities in the meantime.

What impact will this cancellation have on the festival? The short answer is that we don’t yet know. While we have had close communication with multiple funders, municipal and provincial representatives and stakeholders of all kind, and are thankful for the levels up support they have already committed to us for the year, and while we are confident we can weather this storm and return in 2021, the reality is that we don’t really know the landscape we will be facing in 2020 and beyond. As stated, sponsorship, pass and ticket sales for the 2020 festival had largely vanished at the onset of the pandemic. There will continue to be real question marks for us around expectations for all of our major revenue sources, from box office to sponsorship to government funding and beyond.

I would like to donate to Sled Island.
Thank you! As a charity, Sled Island can issue a tax receipt to you. The fine folks at ATB are currently matching donations in April, so if you haven’t already purchased a pass or a ticket, your best place to donate is https://atbcares.benevity.org/commun...5RR0001/donate.
