CANADA: Run for the Cure Goes Virtual, the Launch of Vancouver Horror Nights, and More

NATIONAL: The annual CIBC Run for the Cure breast cancer fundraiser will be held virtually on Oct. 4. The event will begin with opening ceremonies streamed live on Facebook and YouTube at 11:30 a.m. Participants can download an app to create a personalized running avatar and choose to follow one-kilometer or five-kilometer routes.

MONTREAL: The 30th anniversary of the Black & Blue LGBTQ Festival and the third edition of the Carnaval des Couleurs have been postponed until Oct. 2021. Artists who were confirmed to participate in these 2020 events will be included in the planning for next year. Currently, the team has only confirmed Canadian talent due to the difficulty of international travel amidst the pandemic. 

TORONTO: The 115th annual Santa Claus Parade will be held virtually this year due to the pandemic. Event organizers plan to release more details soon. 

Canadian Stage launched an outdoor dance in the High Park Amphitheater this past Saturday and will continue the series for three consecutive weekends, weather permitting. The event capacity has been capped at 100 attendees. Subsequent weekends will feature a special edition of Toronto’s annual outdoor Dusk Dances, due to the event's cancellation. Tickets are available now. 

VANCOUVER: Vancouver Horror Nights is coming to Port Coquitlam for the month of October. Held at the Giggle Dam Dinner Theatre on Shaughnessy Street, the attraction will feature an adult "Fear Maze" nightly from 6 to 11 p.m. and a children's "Boogieman Bash" daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Carnival-inspired food and drink will be available at the Zombie Cafe and Bar. Tickets must be prepurchased for 25-minute entry windows, allowing for attendees to enter on socially distanced waves.
