8:30 – The biggest takeaway from the independent review of the “Experience Regina” brand launch has been released is that no one is losing their job. This doesn’t mean the Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) executives and board are escaping without blame for this mishap. Wayne Morsky is the Chair of REAL Board of Directors and joins Gormley for his take on the results from the review.
