The Royal has a new CEO.
Charlie Johnstone takes over as the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair's Chief Executive Officer for this year's event. He's got a track record of executive leadership organizing national and international spectator events. The Toronto native was most recently president of the Honda Indy Toronto since 2005.
Johnstone calls the Royal a storied Canadian brand with a long and successful tradition of delivering world-class competition, entertainment and agricultural education.
This year's Royal runs from November 6 to the 15 at Exhibition Place in Toronto.
