ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – Organizers of an adults-only trade show say
they’re cancelling a three-day event that was scheduled to take place in
British Columbia’s Bible belt.
The fifth annual Fraser Valley Taboo Naughty But Nice Show was to run at the Abbotsford Tradex at the end of March.
But Canwest Productions Inc. says it can’t secure a roaming liquor licence from the city.
The company says the licence allows patrons to carry liquor throughout the show, instead of being restricted to a beer garden.
Organizers
say they have also experienced a backlash by “Christian
fundamentalists” who have accused them of harming family values.
Peter
Kiddell of Canwest Productions Inc. says his company will work with its
opponents and city officials so the show can return next year.
