I would like to extend a warm welcome to Aaron Boyd, who is joining me as the new Co-Chair of the Southern Ontario Community. For those of you don&amp;#39;t know Aaron, he is the Senior Manager, Ticket Sales and Analytics for Shaw Festival. Welcome Aaron! I look forward to working with you in keeping this community moving forward. On other topic, we would very much like to continue with the annual community 1-day mini-conference. Planning for such an event is a bit more than two Co-Chairs can manage on their own however. We&amp;#39;re looking for community members who would be willing to serve on a planning committee. Don&amp;#39;t worry about the time commitment too much. It&amp;#39;s really just a handful of virtual meetings and, most importantly, bringing your thoughts and ideas. If you&amp;#39;re interested in joining the planning committee, you can reach to me directly or reply to this post. Have a great week everyone!

We&amp;#39;re not in a situation where we have to remove a seat when one is sold as wheelchair accessible, though I wonder how far you could get with just pricing rules for custom messages? I was just looking for a couple seats for Oppenheimer this weekend and noticed Cineplex provides this messaging to those seats: WHEELCHAIR COMPANION You have chosen a seat reserved for a person who is accompanying a guest in a wheelchair. Management reserves the right to relocate your seat or provide a refund should you not meet these conditions. Choose OK to proceed with this selection or Cancel to make another selection. WHEELCHAIR You have chosen a wheelchair space. There is no physical seat. Choose OK to proceed with this selection or Cancel to make another selection.</description></item></channel></rss>
