Elora hosts ‘Longest BBQ' in celebration of Food Day Canada
People in Elora on putting on a culinary show for what they call the 'Longest BBQ' event. CTV's Alexandra Pinto takes weather on the road. Elora prepared to welcome thousands of people on Tuesday as the community hosted a big celebration for Canadian food. Elora's Longest BBQ 2025 took over the heart of downtown as a kickoff for Food Day Canada. The day encourages people to shop, cook and dine Canadian. 'It's unbelievable. We started this event years ago and it was such a small little thing that mom started and its grown and grown and grown,' Jeff Stewart, executive director of Food Day Canada said. 'Tonight, we're going to expect somewhere between 8,000 to 10,000 people.' Anita Stewart launched Food Day Canada in 2003. She was known for saying, 'Canada is food and the world is richer for it.' She was a broadcaster, an accomplished author and Canada's first Food Laureate at The University of Guelph and was known for being a champion for Canadian farmers and chefs. Jeff said his mother would be proud to see how the event has flourished. 'I think she would say the same thing that we're saying right now: we want people to choose Canadian food first. There's an opportunity right now to support our local farmers, to support our local restaurants and really get behind this idea that choosing Canadian food first is something that builds our economy, helps the environment and its delicious!' Elora Longest BBQ A long table was set up for Elora's 'Longest BBQ' on July 29, 2025. (Alexandra Pinto/CTV News) In the spirit of the event, over 25 local restaurants and vendors joined in the festivities in Elora. A series of tables, adorned in red and white, stretched across a bridge from Carlton Place to East Mill. Participants were encouraged to grab a bite, sit down and share the joy of Canadian cuisine with a neighbour or a stranger.

Here's the inaugural 2025 Polaris Song Prize short list
Social Sharing The short list for the Polaris Song Prize, which will go to the Canadian song of the year, has just been announced. The Canadian performers and songwriters of the winning song will split the $10,000 prize money, and the winner will be determined based on artistic merit, without regard to musical genre or commercial popularity, by the Polaris jury. The brand new prize is presented by Polaris, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. This announcement comes a little more than two weeks after Polaris announced its short list for the annual Polaris Music Prize, which goes to the best Canadian album of the year. Past winners include Tanya Tagaq, Feist, Kaytranada, Caribou, Jeremy Dutcher and Debby Friday. In a musical landscape where more and more artists are releasing singles rather than full-length albums, the Polaris and SOCAN teams decided to launch the new Polaris Song Prize to provide artists with more opportunities for recognition. The 20-song long list was revealed in June, and the winning song — and album — will be announced at the Polaris award ceremony on Sept. 16. Here's the full list of nominees for the Polaris Song Prize: Dis-moi dis-moi dis-moi, Lou-Adriane Cassidy (written by Lou-Adriane Cassidy and Alexandre Martel) Shell (Of a Man), Saya Gray (written by Saya Gray and John Mavro) Gold Filigree, Yves Jarvis (written by Yves Jarvis) Gaza Is Calling, Mustafa (written by Mustafa Ahmed, Emmanuel Hailemariam, Simon Hessman and Nicolas Jaar) Wrong Planet, Ribbon Skirt (written by Tashiina Buswa and Billy Riley) Each shortlisted song this year is also from a shortlisted album, which means CBC Music's radio series The Ten will perfectly prepare you by giving an in-depth look at each of this year's nominated records. Hosted by Odario Williams and featuring guests from the Polaris jury, the episodes will be broadcast each Sunday on CBC Music and CBC Listen at 6 p.m. (6:30 NT) running until Sept. 14.

A performance on provincial property in Edmonton looks likely to proceed, but four other municipalities, including some in B.C., are reviewing event applications U.S. Christian musician Sean Feucht is facing new permit reviews and public safety concerns for upcoming Western Canadian performances in August. Photo by Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0 Christian musician and pastor Sean Feucht, who had six performance permits revoked on the first leg of his Canadian tour last week, may need to seek out new venues for some of the advertised concerts on next month's second leg in Western Canada.

The show that seems most likely to proceed is at South Bandshell on the Alberta legislature grounds in Edmonton on Aug. 22. In an email, Infrastructure Alberta said organizers are working through their event permit application. It had previously told the Edmonton Journal that the application was incomplete and the Ministry was 'taking steps to help organizers submit a complete application.' According to the provincial guidelines, performances require specific approval and anything associated with 'ministry initiatives… may be considered on a case-by-case basis.' All applicants are required to carry at least $2 million in liability insurance and include a security plan, among other requirements.

'Alberta is committed to supporting and respecting everyone's right to free speech,' the ministry wrote to National Post. 'We have a duty to uphold these rights and freedoms, regardless of an individual's religious or political beliefs. The Government of Alberta does not engage in shutting down or censoring law-abiding events.' Feucht (pronounced Foyt) plans to kick off the second leg of Let Us Worship: Revive in 25 at Central Park in Winnipeg on Aug. 20. Sean Feucht had all six Canadian venues on the first leg of his Canadian tour revoke his permit to perform. Photo by Allen McInnis / Montreal Gazette A spokesperson for the city said they are still reviewing the application from BURN Canada, the Canadian arm of the Burn 24-7 worship and prayer movement founded by Feucht in 2005. Feucht, a 41-year-old married father of four from California, describes himself as a musician, missionary, author and activist. However, his religious and political views — including his stance on abortion, gender, the LGBT community and COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates — are what led to much of the discord last week. He's also been closely affiliated with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and is a passionate supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The City of Saskatoon, where Feucht and company are promoting an Aug. 21 show at Diefenbaker Park, is taking another look at the application it initially approved. 'The City is currently reviewing the application again and any changes to the event will come after consultation with our special events team including the Saskatoon Police Service,' the spokesperson wrote. 'As this event is not until August 21, the public safety concerns are still being considered. Public safety is always a key component of public event planning in Saskatoon.' After the free concert in Edmonton on Aug. 22, the tour heads to West Kelowna, B.C., for a performance at Memorial Park on Aug. 23. That city said it's 'closely monitoring the circumstances surrounding the tour' and staff are 'reviewing the safety and security plan' for the event. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Due to the limited information provided by the event organizer at the time of booking and the public concerns expressed, we have increased concerns regarding public safety and the event organizer needs to meet the necessary security and safety requirements,' a spokesperson wrote, noting collaboration with the RCMP. It's also planning to re-examine its booking procedures and policies for future facility rentals. The Canadian tour finale is scheduled for the next day, Aug. 24, in Abbotsford, B.C., which is also reviewing the special events permit for the Mill Lake Park performance. 'The City's role in permitting community events is to ensure public safety and bylaw compliance,' it told National Post. Feucht, meanwhile, is back in the U.S. this week after a headline-grabbing week in Eastern Canada, where all six of his shows were cancelled by the venue, starting with one scheduled for York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax on Wednesday over what Park Canada said were 'heightened public safety concerns.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. That show proceeded at a farmer's field outside the Nova Scotia capital, and Feucht was also able to secure alternate venues for subsequent cancellations in Charlottetown, Moncton, Quebec City, Gatineau, and Vaughan, Ont., where municipal officials cited security concerns, permitting issues, or local codes of conduct. He also showed up at a Spanish evangelical church in Montreal on Friday, where an unscheduled performance was met with protests and a police presence that led to one arrest. The city later levied a $2,500 fine against the church for not having the required permit to perform. 'This is not a performance — it's a church service,' Feucht told media outside the Église Ministerios Restauración. A spokesperson for Reseau evangelique du Quebec, a group representing 500 of the province's evangelical Protestant churches, agreed and expressed concern about what it saw as an attack on religious freedom, even if the organization doesn't support Feucht's personal views. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'While the criticism of ideas is legitimate in a democracy, state censorship of those ideas represents a dangerous deviation,' Jean-Christophe Jasmin told The Canadian Press. 'It's not the state's place to determine how our churches ought to conduct themselves.' National Post has contacted Feucht and BURN Canada for comment.
