Your Tax Dollars at Work:
Local officials roll out red carpet for Sex Industry in Abbotsford
Describe group sex, masochism & anal sex workshops as “a lot of fun”...
March 28, 2008
Abbotsford
Tourism Abbotsford is bringing the “Taboo Sex Show” to the local Tradex facility this weekend, with the blessing and oversight of Abbotsford City Hall officials.
Featuring exotic dancers, seminars on group sex, masochism and oral sex workshops, the Taboo Sex Show is being marketed by Tourism Abbotsford as “a lot of fun!”.

And in a stunning move, Tourism Abbotsford has opted to hold the 4th annual Pet Expo alongside the Sex Show, in the same building, at the same time. An event geared toward families and kids, the Pet Expo is promising “free admittance to children under 5 years old.”
The City of Abbotsford owns the Tradex facility, and allows Tourism Abbotsford (a non-profit society which the City of Abbotsford is involved in) to operate it. According to a City of Abbotsford news release, 2007 was a “record-breaking year” and the Tradex facility is operating at 100% capacity.
Each year, Tradex is subsidized by the taxpayers of Abbotsford. In 2006, Tradex received a municipal tax exemption of more than $70,000.
Jay Teichroeb is City Hall’s representative responsible for Tourism in Abbotsford, serving on the board of directors and also serving as Economic Development Manager for Abbotsford.
“The officials at City Hall who are responsible for Tradex should be held accountable for this fiasco. They’re rolling out the red carpet for the sex trade to move into Abbotsford, and doing nothing to protect Abbotsford’s children from its harmful effects,” says Trish Kolsto, president of Abbotsford Families United. “We’re calling for City Council and Tourism Abbotsford to make a pledge to the residents of our city that they will never allow a Sex Show to be held in the Tradex facility again.”
