Easter weekend is around the corner, so you'll want to bunny-hop down your to-do list and get all your errands done beforehand.

Good Friday is a statutory holiday in Ontario, and if you leave your grocery and liquor shopping to the last minute, you may run into closed stores and an empty dinner table for any guests you may be hosting.

Whether you celebrate Easter or not, the holiday does fall on Sunday, April 9, and most malls, grocery stores and government services will be shut down.

Since Good Friday is a stat holiday, many people can look forward to a long weekend and potentially even a four-day weekend with Easter Monday, although not everyone in Ontario is guaranteed the Monday off.

So before you take some time to relax or celebrate, you may want to stock up because not everything will be open for business.

To help you plan ahead, here is everything that will be open and closed in Ontario on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
