Banff World Media Festival Cancels 2020 Edition Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
The 2020 Banff World Media Festival, set to run June 14-17 in the Canadian Rockies, has been canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Canceling the festival after 41 years of success was not a decision that we took lightly, but it was the right thing to do for festival delegates, speakers and staff,” Randy Lennox, president of Bell Media and chair of the Banff board of directors, said Monday in a statement.
