Toronto police are stepping up security measures for the 20th annual Big on Bloor Festival happening this weekend.Officials say there will be a visible police presence throughout the area all weekend, including officers on foot and on bicycles, as well as members of its Neighbourhood Community Officer team.“From a policing perspective, the event is fully staffed, and we are prepared,” TPS spokesperson Nadine Ramadan tells CityNews. “We’re looking forward to a great weekend at Big on Bloor and to seeing residents and visitors come out to enjoy the festival and support local businesses,” she adds.The move comes less than a week after a targeted shooting erupted at the Salsa on St. Clair street festival, which left two people dead and five others injured.Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw called it a “tragic and violent night in Toronto.”“The brazen violence we witnessed in the middle of a community festival where thousands were gathered to enjoy a summer evening with family and friends is heartbreaking and unacceptable,” he wrote in a social media post.Related:Weekend need-to-know: Bloordale goes car-freeThe Big on Bloor Festival runs from July 18 to July 19, and celebrates all the small businesses that make up Bloordale.The festival is one of Toronto’s leading community-based art festivals and draws more than 180,000 visitors each year.
