Toronto has cancelled all city-led and permitted events through June 30 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

However, the ban doesn't apply to professional sports leagues such as the NBA, NHL, MLB or MLS.

Don Peat said the move applies to events that get city permits such as parades and festivals, but not sporting events that include the Raptors, Maple Leafs, Blue Jays or Toronto FC.

Ontario already has a province-wide ban of gatherings of more than five people. The province has not said how long that will be in force.
