COVID-19 has delivered a fatal blow to what would have been the 30th annual Poker Run, traditionally hosted by the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve every February.
With rising cases of the coronavirus across Ontario, it has prompted townships and event organizers to consider cancelling or rescheduling any public gatherings.
Tegan Legge, the general manager of the Haliburton Forest confirmed the latest cancellation of another public event related to the sweeping influence of COVID-19 when she announced the cancellation of the annual snowmobile touring event fundraiser for the Haliburton Firefighters Association scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6.
