Sue Eckersley, president of WSSF producer Watermark Communications, said Wednesday (May 2) that the festival's contract with Telus expired this year and she doesn't expect the telecommunications provider to be back as the event's title sponsor next year. "That's going to be a big thing in the next couple of months, is establishing the title (sponsor)," said Eckersley. "Obviously, Telus has put a big financial stake into this festival in the last 13 years and we'll have to work hard to replace that value." Eckersley said having an X Games bid on the table was a "drawback" in terms of planning for next year's WSSF.
