Westerner Days 2020 falls victim to COVID-19

From Westerner Park
Westerner Days Fair & Exposition COVID-19 Update
After weeks of being optimistic that Westerner Days Fair and Exposition would continue, Westerner Park made the extremely difficult announcement that the Fair will be postponed until July 2021. The decision came following the Government of Alberta’s direction that mass gathering restrictions, which includes events and festivals, are expected to continue through the summer.
“We know these are necessary measures to ensure the health and safety of our entire community,” says Mike Olesen, Chief Executive Officer, Westerner Park. “Although this is our top priority, it doesn’t make the announcement any easier. This will have far-reaching effects on our community, partners, vendors, and organization.”
“Our staff and volunteers are all heavy-hearted about the news, but we know that by taking these measures now we are not alone in the sacrifice that will help us all stay healthy and come together soon.”
Westerner Days has a major impact on the economy of Red Deer and the surrounding area. In a normal year, the overall effect is estimated in excess of $7 million dollars. Of that total, approximately $5 million is spent by visitors, exhibitors, and contractors in Red Deer and area.
“We are Central Alberta’s largest summer celebration and know the Fair means a lot to our community,” says Janice Wing, President &
Board Chair, Westerner Park, “As a non-profit agricultural society, Westerner Days is our largest annual event, made possible by our team of staff and volunteers and the support of our partners, sponsors and community. We know the impact of this will be felt by everyone.”
Individuals that purchased RAD passes will be contacted later today with information about their refunds.
Westerner Park is pivoting its focus to the fall. “The way we celebrate with everyone may look different this year, but our dedication to the community will not change.”
The organization remains committed to supporting all efforts to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and Westerner Park looks forward to opening its doors to celebrate again with the community once it is safe to do so.
The countdown starts for 2021 Westerner Days, only 451 days!

Ontario man launches new challenge against province’s latest attempt to ban free expression on roadside billboards

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that Ontario resident George Katerberg has launched a legal challenge against the Ontario Ministry of Transportation for banning roadside billboards with social or political messages. Mr. Katerberg believes that the Ministry’s policies go too far and undermine the freedom of expression of all Ontarians.
This case goes back to March 2024, when Mr. Katerberg, a retired HVAC technician, rented a billboard on Highway 17 near Thessalon, Ontario, that featured images of public health officials and politicians alongside a message critical of their statements about vaccines.
After the Ministry rejected his proposed billboard several times on the grounds it promoted hatred, a constitutional challenge was launched with lawyers provided by the Justice Centre. Mr. Katerberg’s lawyers argued that the Ministry’s position was unreasonable, and that it did not balance Charter rights with the purposes of relevant legislation.
The Ministry later admitted that the sign did not violate hate speech guidelines and agreed to reconsider erecting the billboard.
However, in April 2025, the Ministry quietly amended its policy manual to restrict signs along “bush highways” to those only promoting goods, services, or authorized community events.
The new guidelines are sweeping and comprehensive, barring any messaging that the Ministry claims could “demean, denigrate, or disparage one or more identifiable persons, groups of persons, firms, organizations, industrial or commercial activities, professions, entities, products or services…”
Relying on this new policy, the Ministry once again denied Mr. Katerberg’s revised billboard.
Constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury explains, “By amending the Highway Corridor Management Manual to effectively prohibit signage that promotes political and social causes, the Ministry of Transportation has turned Mr. Katerberg’s fight to raise his sign into a fight on behalf of all Ontarians who wish to express support for a political or social cause.”
No date has yet been assigned for a hearing on this matter.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Affirms COVID Vaccines Reduce Fertility

Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity
What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.
A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.
A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.
The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.
Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.
First, let’s talk about the study.
It was published by Manniche and colleagues in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, a legitimate, peer-reviewed journal respected for its focus on patient safety and pharmacovigilance.
The study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2023 and examined 1.3 million women aged 18–39. By the end of 2021, approximately 70% of them had received at least one COVID-19 vaccination, with 96% of the vaccinated cohort having received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
By 2022, a stark difference was clear.
The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.
That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.
This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.
In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.
Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.
The authors did not jump to the conclusion that their study proved causation. They cited that other factors may have played a role, such as self-selection bias
However, the researchers noted that self-selection bias does not explain the timing and scale of the observed drop in fertility.
Moreover, birth rates in the Czech Republic dropped from 1.83 per 1,000 women in 2021 to 1.37 in 2024, adding further evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines may be contributing to the decline in fertility.
That downward trend, the researchers argue, supports the hypothesis that something beyond individual decision-making may be affecting conception rates.
As such, they argue that the study’s results warrant a closer and more thorough examination of the impact of mass vaccination.
If this study holds true, and vaccinated women are really much less likely to have successful conceptions, the implications for humanity are massive.
Millions of babies could be missing each year as a result of COVID vaccination, and recent data from Europe and beyond already point to a deeply disturbing trend.
NOTE: Europe experienced a sharper decline in births than usual from 2021 to 2023.
Live births fell from 4.09 million in 2021 to 3.67 million in 2023, marking a 10.3% decline in just two years.
The new Czech study adds to growing evidence that COVID vaccines may be contributing to a dramatic decline in fertility, just as many feared all along.
As Elon Musk warns, “If there are no humans, there’s no humanity.”
Whether the shots are the cause or not, the trend is real—and it’s accelerating.
It’s time to stop dismissing the signals and start investigating the cause.
