The Toronto Christmas market will be cancelled this year, as cases of COVID-19 continue to grow in Ontario, according to CP24.
The market, which takes place annually in the city's Distillery historic District, will be axed this year as provincial and city politicians continue to lay out the ground work for their fight against the second wave.
Mayor John Tory told CP24: "It is one of a number of events at that time of the year that is unfortunately not going to be held... It's regrettable, extremely regrettable, because these are things that bring people joy and get them outside even in the colder weather, but a lot of things have changed this year."
The decision to can the Christmas market comes just after Premier Ford announced that private meeting size limits would be reduced from 25 to 10 across the province, as cases of COVID continue to break the 400 threshold daily.
Tory said that city will be working on giving guidelines on how to properly and safely celebrate Thanksgiving and Halloween as well.
"It's very difficult to ban Thanksgiving and ban Halloween. I'm not sure anybody would try to ban them, but I think what you can do is give people the best advice possible on how to keep them safe," said Tory.
Tory has previously said that he would not hesitate to cancel trick-or-treating.
