NormR Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 A little bump up as the details start to come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.malone Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi Norm, Does the link work for the YYX Toronto Value event? When i click on it, it says connection is not private, might be a spam etc. Also, under the April 16 FFH Day, you have the date as April 11. The program for the Ben Graham event sounds fantastic! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the YYX event is likely a go according to James, but the website isn't ready yet. So, I took the link down while correcting the 11 to 16 issue.

NormR Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Roy Thomson Hall is closing for at least two weeks due to virus concerns. The government of Canada is advising against non-essential travel. I hate to say it - and I don't know for sure - but there is a real chance that the Fairfax Lollapalooza 2020 schedule will change dramatically. If you spot a schedule change, please let me know and I'll update this page. May you and yours enjoy good health in the months and years to come.

bearprowler6 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 The Ivey events have been postponed. Norm, If only Fairfax was as proactive as you regarding this situation we would all be better off. Thank-you for your efforts! Prem....stop hiding and provide an update on the annual meeting. You know you have to cancel the RTH festivities. Just do it!

Read the Footnotes Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Norman, thank you for maintaining this page for us this year. This was the right decision and the fact that Canada just closed it's borders to non-Canadians just confirms that our forecasts were right. Also, thank you to JEast for all the work he put in to the YYX event this year. James has made improvements each year. Thank you to Ranger for all the behind the scenes work he put in to the Ben Graham Dinner. Ranger volunteered to do 100% of the behind the scenes organization for the dinner this year even though he had a conflict and could not attend the dinner. Francis Chou had already started working on wrangling some speakers for the week. I am confident it was going to be an amazing lineup, and just adds to the loss. Sanjeev and his team put a lot of work in to the Fairfax Shareholder dinner only to have to make the decision to cancel. Also, our organizers make an upfront financial commitment and then take the risk of dealing with a mess like this. All of them deserve our continuing thanks for their annual efforts to make this such a great week. Keep safe every one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG2008 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yes, huge shout out to all the guys making Fairfax Lollapalooza happen. It's an amazing event. Is there a way to help reimburse the cancellation cost for the event? I'll chip in some beer money. From my experience planning events, it requires a tremendous amount of brain damage and not a ton of rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone is going to work out ok with Sanjeev being the last to be in an uncertain position. Does this qualify under an act of god clause?

absolutbrian Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Thank you everyone for your time and effort. This is unfortunate but there are things we don't control. Let's focus on what we can control. That is stay safe and healthy. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
