Oshawa said it is cancelling all city-led special events and festivals, as well as special event permits through to and including July 1, 2020.
This is in response to Covid-19 and the recent provincial emergency order to prohibit organized public events and social gatherings of more than five people.
“We will definitely miss this year’s Peony Festival, Canada Day Celebration and our cherished community partner festivals and events. This decision was difficult to make but was necessary to protect the health and safety of our community members,” said Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter.
City-led event cancellations include:
- Community Clean Up
- Community Fire Safety Day
- Peony Festival
- Canada Day Celebration
This also includes the cancellation of permits for festivals and events in city facilities and outdoor spaces, said yesterday’s announcement.
Additionally, permits for city indoor facilities, outdoor sports fields, diamonds, parks and open spaces have been cancelled in April and May.
Furthermore, large sporting events, such as tournaments, that are scheduled for the month of June will also be cancelled.
For booking inquiries that would take place after these cancellation and closure dates, contact 905-436-3311 or email FBO@oshawa.ca .
