Virtual Events in the GTA

Show your colours! Pride Toronto is celebrating virtually this year, on until June 30th. Click here to visit online.
Pickering Virtual Farmers Market
The City’s annual Farmers’ Market is returning early this spring in a virtual format. Due to COVID-19, this initiative was setup to help connect residents to a variety of local farmers and vendors who sell produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, honeys and preserves, prepared meals, natural soaps and more.
This temporary new format will connect you to suppliers and products online, where you can shop local and arrange for contact-free home delivery!
City staff will work with vendors to update the webpage as more produce and goods become available as the growing season ramps up.
The virtual Farmers’ Market will be available until the traditional City Centre Farmers’ Market can resume.

Ontario Parks: Public Health Measures
Safety of our visitors and staff is always our top priority. We will be implementing measures to address overcrowding and promote physical distancing in our park spaces and buildings during busy visitation times by limiting occupancy for day-use and camping in select provincial parks. This may include limiting the number of daily vehicle permits sold or the number of campsite available for reservations. You may notice that day use parking areas will not be as full or some campsites will remain empty during your stay.
We will be continually assessing our approach and may need to make adjustments to services depending on the advice of the province’s medical officials.
