The Raptors, who are the only National Basketball Association franchise in Canada, won the championship finals against the Golden State Warriors last Thursday - the first Canadian team to win the title.
Around mid-afternoon, thousands of revellers gathered to watch the event's closing ceremony with players and dignitaries, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Mr Trudeau later tweeted that he hoped for a "speedy recovery" for those injured.
"We won't let this act of violence take away from the spirit of today's parade," he said.

Toronto Mayor John Tory said he was "disappointed" the event was marred by gun violence.
Canadian sports fans were revelling in the win by the Toronto Raptors, the team's first championship victory in its 24-year history.
The team's players were carried along the parade route in five double-decker buses where their supporters greeted them in Raptors shirts and jerseys. The crowd dispersed without further incident in the late afternoon.
Mr Tory had proclaimed this 17 July as "We the North Day" - playing on the team's slogan "We the North" - to commemorate the historic season.

They should be happy they didn't have another Las Vegas style shooting. Lots of tall buildings and people packed like sardines on the ground. The stampedes would probably kill more than the shooter would.

Toronto has had a violent crime/gang problem for quite a while. There have also been several bomb plots thwarted.
Toronto is going downhill.

Oddly enough the St.Louis Blues recently had a championship parade with over 1 million people and zero arrests.

Impossible. Don't you know America is a country of sociopaths out to kill each other with their millions of guns?

No? You did not know? Did you not consume any of Trudeau's paper drink box unicorn piss? I am sure some of the suppliers here would be happy to send you some.
