When asked what the decision to cancel all event permits until June 30 means for Canada Day festivities, Watson told reporters that “I think it’s going to be a real challenge.”

No shit! Sherlock!

Fly the flag 🇨🇦, cheer all who work during this scary time 🚒🚑👮👨‍🍳🚎🚛....STAY HOME. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Yes the widespread cancellation of crowded festival and parades is necessary now.

I would hope so! Last thing we need as we get better is to throw a bunch of people together!!

Mayor Watson likes deflecting.

Good ..

We can hope & pray by October 1st we are in the clear. 'Chinese National Day is celebrated on October 1st every year to commemorate the founding of People’s Republic of China. On that day, lots of large-scaled activities are held nationwide.'

An early heads up with thoughts/ information like this helps...

Many difficult decisions being made including unfortunately issuing fines. All worth it if lives are saved! Re fines for being in Parks etc...will result in helping to flatten the curve. All necessary...

This was the year I was finally going to get there to celebrate it. 😢
