The Labrador North Chamber of Commerce (LNCC) has postponed its keystone event, Expo Labrador, focused on major projects and economic development in the region. It was set to cause a challenging influx of people into the Town of Happy Valley Goose-Bay in the coming week, with over 400 participants.

The delay allows member businesses and individuals to continue to help with the response to threatening wildfires in the region, including aid for the ongoing displacement of hundreds of people from the remote Town of Churchill Falls, about 300 kilometres away by road.
