River City Conventions shutting down permanently

Central Canada Comic Con on Facebook:

River City Conventions after 25 years will be closing its doors permanently. There will be no future events planned for 2020 or the future.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the convention but I’m still sad to see it shut down. I had some great experiences there many years ago. Why they couldn’t have scaled back the event and put it on in a different place is beyond me.

While the organizers were quick to blame the venue and sponsors for their troubles in their previous update, this makes me think they’re withholding details to avoid damaging their reputation with their supporters.

GalaxyCon Minneapolis is in November and the guest list looks fantastic.
