QUEBEC CITY — An outdoor roofing structure for the Grand Rire Comedy Festival collapsed amid wet, windy weather at about 7:30 a.m. June 30 in Quebec City’s Place d’Youville, near the city’s historic district. No one was hurt. The roof was reportedly held up by cables and scaffolding, and after it fell, it lay at an angle with the front part of the roof resting on the stage.
Festival officials say the cause for the collapse has not yet been determined and is currently under investigation.
