Last week, Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin and Dr. Robert Strang, Chief Medical Officer of Health, announced tighter COVID-19 restrictions in the province. As of Saturday, March 6, special events, including trade shows, are not permitted until at least the end of March, and residents are being asked to avoid non-essential travel in and out of HRM during this period.
 
As a result, Master Promotions Ltd., along with event partner Boating Atlantic, announced the postponement of the 2021 Halifax International Boat Show, which was scheduled for March 25-28, 2021. The next edition of the Halifax International Boat Show will take place in February 2022.

Master Promotions also announces the postponement of the Moncton Boat Show & NB Sportsmen & Fly Fishing Show, originally slated for April 9-11, 2021 at the Moncton Coliseum Complex. These shows will now take place in March 2022.
