Spruce Meadows President & CEO Linda Southern-Heathcott released the following letter regarding 2022 tournament dates and a delay in ticket sales:
“It has certainly been a challenging two years since the Spruce Meadows closure due to the pandemic in 2020/ 2021.
As you are aware, due to the government restrictions, our 2021 season in-person attendance was limited to only the ‘Masters’ Tournament with 2,000 vaccinated fans. It was a huge effort from the Spruce Meadows team to be able to host the 2021 season and our whole team was so excited to see the horses competing and the fans in the stands.
