TORONTO—Canada’s largest city has announced it is canceling all city-led and permitted events through June 30 amid the CCP virus pandemic.

Mayoral spokesman Don Peat said the cancellation applies to events that get city permits like parades and festivals and does not include sporting events like Blue Jays, Raptors and Maple Leafs games. Professional sports in North America are on hold because of the pandemic but there is some hope by leagues that play could resume before June 30.
