The Canadian National Exhibition has been cancelled this year because of the COVID-19 epidemic, the president of the CNE Association has announced. It is the first time the event has been cancelled since the Second World War. Speaking to the Toronto Star, John Kiru said the decision was difficult. “Summer won’t be the same without the sights and sounds of the CNE.” Mr.Kiru said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution to help prevent employees, volunteers, visitors, vendors and artists from contracting COVID-19.
