People enjoying one of the rides at the 2022 CNE. CEO Darrell Brown says attendance was over 1 million by the middle of last week, a 10 per cent increase when compared to 2019.
He says even though the last four days have not been of the best weather, they managed to attract about 110,000 people on Sunday, adding that number could have gotten to 150,000 if it were a good forecast. "So, even some of the more susceptible groups, like the older aged adults that might have been staying away, perhaps because of COVID risks, they didn't," he said.
"So the CNE grounds, you know, we considered that scabbed labour. There were people that were doing the work that should have been done by these certified inspectors and I feel really lucky that nothing went wrong during the course of the CNE."

That is not reconciliation.
