Thank you, Kevin. It certainly was devastating for our community.
The Juno awards show isn't just an awards show held at our arena of SaskTel Centre. It actually involves multiple facilities throughout the city of Saskatoon. There's the gala dinner. There's the Juno Cup. There's Junofest in all the clubs. In total, approximately 30 different venues host the Juno awards. When you have an event like that, which is confirmed, which is doing great in your market, and which is only two days away, and then it goes down two days later—that's devastating, not only for all of our facility partners but also our community.
In terms of the economic spinoffs, as you mentioned, Kevin, it was an $8-million to $10-million event for the city of Saskatoon. Then the tap was turned off.
You just have to just recover from it, but it was a very difficult time. I think all the venues that were participating in it had shuffled events around to make their facilities available for the Junos, so they lost some business from some other potential rentals. Then there was all of the labour and the thousand volunteers we had, who had dedicated so much time and energy to be the ambassadors for our province and our city.
Not being able to execute our plan was very difficult. It certainly was a tough time for us.
