Less than a day after Toronto claimed it would be cancelling its 2023 Canada Day celebrations at Nathan Phillips Square due to “resource constraints“ during a ”fiscally complex year,” the city announced it had reversed its decision.

“The City of Toronto plans to use money in existing approved operating budgets to activate all City-led programming on Canada Day. The City will continue to work with its partners, including other orders of government, to deliver this year’s celebrations across Toronto, including on Nathan Phillips Square,” Jessamine Luck, a spokesperson at the City of Toronto, told The Epoch Times.
