The formal transition will take place on July 5th, with Northlands winding down its operations once the transition is concluded. Last year, the City of Edmonton asked Northlands and Explore Edmonton to evaluate whether there was an opportunity for the two organizations to work together to reinvent and deliver K- Days and Farmfair in a financially sustainable way. For the last several months, Northlands and Explore Edmonton have been engaged in discussions – facilitated by the City of Edmonton – about what this new working relationship might look like. In early 2021, Explore Edmonton concluded a feasibility study that determined the organization was well-positioned to deliver both events given its new mandate as the Destination Management and Marketing Organization (DMMO) for Edmonton and its existing management responsibilities of the Edmonton Expo Centre. “The Explore Edmonton team was humbled by the confidence City Council and others showed in us when it was suggested we could take this on. We know that it has been a challenging time for our friends at Northlands and that this has not been easy. We intend to honour and respect their legacy of service to Edmonton by relaunching their events in exciting and dynamic new ways.” – Maggie Davison, Interim CEO, Explore Edmonton As the discussions evolved, it became clear that from a viability and financial sustainability perspective, the right approach was for Northlands to move the assets to Explore Edmonton and wind down its operations.
