The Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival has been cancelled.
The 63rd annual festival was supposed to take place from July 30 and August 3, but has now been postponed to the summer of 2021.
“Recently, the provincial health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced that all large events will not be permitted this summer which includes our beloved Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival,” according to a statement issued by the organsiers.
The cancellation is the first in the history of the annual festival.
The organisers said they would like to thank the volunteers, sponsors, the competitors, and the community that has made the festival a success all these years.
“As you can expect this announcement is being made with a heavy heart. We appreciate your support and understanding as always, and look forward to making sure the 2021 festival is twice as much fun and kicked off with the biggest bang yet,” the organisers said.
