Article content Article content In response to recent crowd safety incidents at large-scale events, the Foundation is scaling its program after certifying over 260 event professionals in the U.S. and Europe. Article content Article content HOUSTON — Pink Bows Foundation ('Foundation' or 'Pink Bows') announced today a significant expansion of its Showstop® Procedure training program, the first-ever standardized safety protocol for large scale events. In-person training and certification will take place in seven cities across the U.S. and Canada, including New York, NY; Dallas, TX; New Orleans, LA; Houston, TX; Nashville, TN; Charlotte, NC; and Toronto, ON. The trainings in Charlotte and Toronto will be hosted in partnership with the Event Safety Alliance (ESA) and ESA Canada, respectively. 'We are incredibly proud to announce this series of North American Showstop® Procedure courses due to the increasing interest and positive feedback we've received so far,' said Stephanie Stegall, President of the Foundation. 'These courses represent a critical step forward in equipping professionals with the skills and confidence to stop the show when lives are at stake.' Article content Showstop® Procedure sessions are designed for experienced event professionals who hold strategic, tactical, or operational roles at events and are responsible for crowd safety. Article content 'These courses are one step closer to a stronger, safer entertainment industry – and a future where tragedies can be prevented. Madison's life was full of light and love, and through the Foundation, we're turning that loss into action. This isn't just training, it's a promise to protect, no matter the stage or the size of the crowd,' said Ty Dubiski, brother of Madison Dubiski, the young woman who lost her life at Astroworld Festival in 2021 and is behind the founding of Pink Bows. Article content The addition of courses builds on the Pink Bows's mission to establish the Showstop® Procedure as a global safety standard and meet the demand and interest it has received since the March 2025 launch of the first training in Houston. The Foundation has certified more than 260 event professionals across the U.S. and Europe so far. The inaugural training was dedicated to Madison Dubiski, the daughter of the Foundation's Co-Founders, who was 23 when she died at the Astroworld Festival that killed 10 and injured hundreds. Article content 'The Showstop® Procedure fills a critical gap in emergency preparedness at live events,' said Rob Bergeron, Executive Director at Event Safety Alliance. 'This training provides an important step for risk mitigation so that event professionals are trained, ready, and authorized to act.' Article content The Showstop® Procedure is the only internationally accredited crowd safety protocol, approved by both the International Institute of Risk & Safety Management (IIRSM) and The CPD Certification Service.

Here are 10 cool photos of the Gordie Howe bridge — Now let's see yours
When it will open is still in question. But it's already changed the skyline and landscape of Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich. The Gordie Howe International Bridge can be seen from kilometres away, and depending on your viewpoint it can sometimes appear to be a completely different structure. A recent report says the span might not open until sometime in 2026, however, the Canadian authority overseeing its construction and operation says it's too early to offer a specific date on when cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians will be allowed to cross. Shovels hit the ground on the project in the summer of 2018. It was originally slated to be open by the end of 2024. That was since pushed back until the fall of 2025 — a timeline which also now remains uncertain. What people can do in the meantime, however, is continue to marvel at its size and modern design of the cable-stayed crossing. The CBC's Michael Evans has compiled his top 10 photos from across the Windsor-area showing the bridge from a variety of vantage points in August 2025. Show us your favourite pic of the bridge We'd like to see your favourite photos that you've taken of the structure — whether it's from the Canadian or American side. Email us at windsor@ or text us at 519-984-2051. Be sure to include your full name and the location where you snapped the picture. Selected photos could earn you some CBC Windsor swag.
