Toronto faces critical shortage of public festivals suitable for mass shootings

Toronto faces critical shortage of public festivals suitable for mass shootings

How Toronto festivals this year were upended by congestion, cancellations and crime — and what we must do to fix it

It has been a summer of thwarted celebrations.

Marquee street festivals in Toronto were cut short, moved out of the city or cancelled outright over issues with financing, space, violence and thefts.

Some organizers say growing security costs and concerns since the deadly vehicle attack in Vancouver last year and shootings at Salsa on St. Clair last month made their events too expensive to host. This was worsened, they say, by the World Cup siphoning away corporate sponsorship money this year, forcing local events to make do with less. Even Taste of the Danforth, one of the city’s most storied, well-funded festivals, had supporters petition the federal government this week for more help with payments.

The Big Takeaways From the FBI’s New Report on Active Shooters

The Big Takeaways From the FBI’s New Report on Active Shooters

On Friday, the FBI released its report on active shooter incidents in 2025. The news, however, was quickly overshadowed by the active shooter incident that unfolded on Saturday afternoon in Twin Falls, Idaho, where a 24-year-old man opened fire on employees and customers at an In-N-Out restaurant before an off-duty police officer and an armed citizen sent him fleeing.

Like that shooting, the FBI report shows that the most common place for an active shooter incident in 2025 was businesses, though not all of them are open to the public. Of the 34 incidents recorded by the FBI last year, 14 of them took place in commercial areas. That’s double the number of shootings that happened in “open places,” which was the next most common category. There were six incidents in government buildings, four in educational settings, and three in houses of worship.

Salsa on St. Clair loses key sponsor following deadly shooting

The Salsa on St. Clair festival has lost one of its key sponsors weeks after a shooting that left two people dead.

In a July 23 letter, reviewed by CP24, the Hillcrest Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) advised festival organizers Canadian Salsa Festival and TLN Media Group that its board voted to discontinue its sponsorship of the two-day event.

Chair Heather Hannah said in the letter that while they have been “proud” to sponsor and host the event for many years, it believes Salsa on St. Clair has “outgrown both the neighbourhood and the capacity” of the BIA.

Scoring points from a tragedy in Toronto

Scoring points from a tragedy in Toronto

Brad Bradford is running for mayor of Toronto. The city councillor for Beaches-East York is the main rival of the incumbent, Olivia Chow, who is hoping to win a renewed mandate when voters go to the polls on Oct. 26.

So when he speaks, it is worth listening to what he has to say. Unfortunately, what he had to say about a recent, tragic incident in the city was drivel.


An out of touch whine from the Globe.
