The Denman Craft Crawl, planned for four Saturdays in November and December, was cancelled as an organized event, according to a notice in this week’s Grapevine.^[1]

The notice said individual venues could still open for retail sales, and visitors could use the vendor list and map to plan shopping trips while following COVID protocols, including mandatory masks.^[1]

The notice said organizers had checked with Island Health staff about the distinction between events and retail sales, and that conditions could change after the initial two-week restriction period.^[1]
