Jim Gillespie, executive manager of the Calgary Motor Dealers Association , said in a news release the decision was made at a meeting of dealer members Nov. 17, and he blamed insufficient participation by automakers.
The news release said that “despite the initial excitement around this landmark show returning to Calgary, realities around the ongoing interruptions to the global supply chain means that automobile manufacturers, automotive dealers and after-market distributors are not in a position to commit to participating in the show.”
It’s been like a snowball, he said. First, on Nov. 14, Ford cancelled participation in auto shows everywhere except for the major events. Stellantis followed Ford’s lead two days later and others had been holding off making a firm decision. Electric vehicle manufacturers have not come to the party, either, seeing as the uptake of EVs in Alberta and the prairies in general has been light.”
