2011 OTTAWA SUPEREX

Last Thursday evening the Board of Directors of the CCEA met to discuss the future of the Annual Exhibition.

  • It was decided that the operation of SuperEX would be suspended for 2011.

This will mark the first time since 1888 that no Exhibition will be held at Lansdowne Park with the exception of during both World Wars.

This decision was taken for the following reasons:

  • Due to the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, we can no longer use that site.
  • Prohibitive cost to operate on any temporary site for 2011.
  • Infrastructure required to host an Exhibition on our land in the south end of the city will not be in place in time for this August.

Moving forward the Board of the Central Canada Exhibition is committed to continuing discussions with the City and others to have our home in the south end of Ottawa become a reality for 2012.

Mark Lamoureux – President
