COVID-19 slammed the door on large public gatherings across Canada in March 2020, but two of the country’s biggest auto shows returned this year amid hopes that experiential attractions would revive the large-scale events.
“This is going to be a more hands-on show,” said Jason Campbell, general manager of the Canadian International AutoShow (CIAS), which runs Feb. 17-26 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
“I think from the reaction we had from our manufacturers...this is going to be the way of the future; it has really gotten everybody excited.”
