The organizers of the annual Canadian Music Week has announced that the event has been postponed until September, 2020. It was initially scheduled to take place from May 19-23 in downtown Toronto. The new tentative dates are Sept. 8-13, 2020. See statement below.
“Due to the continuing spread of the novel COVID-19 virus we believe it is our social responsibility to postpone the upcoming Canadian Music Week 2020 Conference and Expo. In light of the recent growing number of event cancellations, Public Health Canada statements, and various provincial gathering bans, we concluded this was the right decision. The health and safety of our speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, visitors, and staff is our number one priority. We have managed to find an alternative date at a later time period at the same venue (Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel). The NEW dates for Canadian Music Week will be September 8–13, 2020.”
