The end of summer in Winnipeg may look closer to normal as the Red River Ex makes plans to go ahead this year. Instead of its normal time in June, the annual exhibition will happen over 11 days from Aug. 27 to Sept. 6, organizers say. Red River Ex Association CEO Garth Rogerson said they've been discussing whether to go ahead for months, and they feel confident they'll be able to hold the event in late summer. The annual event was forced to cancel last year, amid the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual event injects $10 million into the local economy, Rogerson said.
