Toronto Just Cancelled All 24 Major Events In The City This Summer

Looks like the CNE isn't happening after all.

Toronto Just Cancelled All 24 Major Events In The City This Summer

It looks like Toronto isn't ready to restore its pre-pandemic summer plans. On Friday, the City of Toronto announced that they're extending the cancellation of all city-run, in-person events up until the end of Labour Day weekend on September 6.

This includes events like the Caribbean Carnival and the CNE, which announced in February that it hoped to reopen for Torontonians this summer.

Mayor John Tory tweeted that he's working with the CNE to help them come up with a "bigger and better in-person event in 2022."

The City said that the aim of this announcement is to make it easier for organizers to predict what will happen with their events this summer. Their statement includes a list of all 24 major events that are cancelled, many of which will take place virtually for the second year in a row.

This follows the news that Ontario's stay-at-home order will be extended until June 2 at the earliest.
