"We Have to Adapt"

BEYOND 2020, EPISODE 3

Happy New Year, everyone!

We made it. We officially survived 2020. And yet, the struggles and hurdles of last year remain.

As last year was winding down, I spoke with my friend Garry Koop. He’s the pastor of one of the larger churches here in Steinbach. If we’re saying that the events industry has been drastically affected by Covid, then we can’t understate how churches have been impacted by the pandemic. Not only have their weekly, in-person services been thrown into a tailspin, but so have all the other events that their facilities host nearly every day of the week.

Garry says that we in the events industry have to adapt. There is no circling back to the way things “used to be.”

(Sorry for the slight technical difficulty with this episode. We lost the first couple minutes of it, but were able to save the rest.)
