Organizers of the Montreal Pride Festival have canceled today’s parade.
They cited a lack of security personnel for the parade route, adding that the decision was made in collaboration with Montreal police.
The events that will take place on the Esplanade du Parc olympique from 2 p.m., including the closing show with Pabllo Vittar, will continue as planned.
Tens of thousands of people were expected to attend today’s parade.
More to come.
