The 2009 festival was cancelled in early May 2009.^[1] The event was cancelled because a strike by Toronto's municipal outside workers closed ferry service to the Toronto Islands. Broken Social Scene played a free show at Harbourfront on July 11, 2009, as an apology for the event's cancellation; this show was documented in Bruce McDonald's 2010 concert film This Movie Is Broken.

Browsing their website. It seems they have had any concerts take place since August 14, 2010. There is no information anywhere else to sway this theory either.
