This Is What Is Going To Be Open & Closed In Toronto For Canada Day
Just because Canada Day will look a little different this year doesn't mean you can't celebrate in your own way. There are multiple Toronto businesses that will keep their doors open so you can make the best of the day. We've compiled a list of what's open in Toronto July 1 to make your holiday a little easier.
It is worth noting that multiple Canada Day celebrations have moved online this year.
As a way to keep practicing safe social distancing, the City of Toronto, the Toronto Zoo and others will be hosting virtual celebrations so you can party from home.
However, if you do want to venture outside and go to the nearest park, the Ontario government is reminding people to stay in their social distancing bubbles of 10.
If you were planning on heading out to a big celebration, you might want to think again.
Parades and large gatherings are not permitted this year, and many of those popular celebrations, including those at Mel Lastman Square in North York, have been cancelled.
However, if you're looking to enjoy the outdoors at a distance or get in some essential shopping, you're in luck.
