THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank GunnToronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw speaks at a news conference in Toronto on Tuesday June 16, 2026. Speaking at an unrelated news conference, police Chief Myron Demkiw said the "persons responsible" for the July 11 attack at the Salsa on St. Clair festival have been apprehended. The public shooting also intensified fears of gun violence and increased scrutiny of the security measures planned for other events in the city's packed summer calendar. The City of Toronto has said it is committed to reviewing its approach and support the creation of a Toronto Festivals Association to strengthen public safety of such events.
