It looks like the rain will keep the teddy bears indoors this weekend.

The CHEO foundation has announced that this year’s Teddy Bears Picnic has been canceled due to all the rain we’ve seen and the heavy rains in the forecast.

The picnic was to be held today at Rideau Hall.

Norma Lamont of the CHEO Foundation said this is the first time in the 27-year history of the picnic that they’ve had to cancel the event.

Despite the disappointment, the foundation expects to be back bigger and better than ever for next year.
