Here's What's Open and Closed in Toronto on Canada Day

Canada Day is quickly approaching, and this year, July 1 just so happens to fall on a Friday, meaning those of us lucky enough to have the day off will get to enjoy a nice long weekend.

After two years of canceled events and restricted gatherings, Canada Day celebrations are back in full force this year, just in time to celebrate Canada turning 155. If you're planning to spend your Canada Day in Toronto, there's a full schedule of events happening around the city, including themed festivities, food demonstrations, and fireworks.

But with Canada Day being a national statutory holiday, many stores, offices, and services will shut their doors for the day, so you'll have to plan ahead for all of your party supply needs.

​Zoocasa crunched the numbers to see where it’s the most affordable to buy a home along the GO Station line.

After previously reaching "unicorn" status with a $1B valuation and hitting $2B, BC-based green construction company Nexii Building Solutions filed for creditor protection in January.

“The proposed development, being advanced as part of the City’s Housing Now program, represents one of the largest affordable housing projects in Ontario in the past 25 years and the province’s largest co-operative housing development.”

Touting a myriad of amenities that range from luxe-forward to family-friendly, life at Canopy Towers 2 promises to entertain, enrich, and make your life more convenient than it’s ever been before.

New data from Urbanation shows that some 21,505 units that were on track to launch since the market began to slow down in 2022 are now “on hold indefinitely.”

For the fifth consecutive year, the Arbor Day Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has recognized Toronto with the designation.

Global data cloud company Snowflake announced its new Toronto office space.

The development will come with a new state-of-the-art, 6,402-sq.-m YMCA facility. ​

Pending City Council’s go-ahead, the towers would mark the first of four phases in a larger master-planned project from RioCan, the likes of which is expected to deliver seven new buildings and a public park over five development blocks.

Not only are their design-forward developments packed with all the modern amenities one could desire — while being recognized for their particularly functional (and easy on the eyes) suites — but Liberty Development also pursues green initiatives and uses various energy efficient technologies.

Homebuyers are now paying nearly $1M more for a detached Toronto home than in 2014.

Nestled on the shores of Lake Erie, this newly built waterfront property blends modern architecture with rustic charm, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, industrial-style detailing, and cathedral-style ceilings.

The home sits at 7080 Glenfir Road in Naramata, British Columbia, about midway between Kelowna and Penticton.

This makes ARISTA North America's first homebuilder to include the product as a standard feature in all new homes.

​The foreclosed site that was formerly owned by Coromandel Properties consists of 5188 and 5210 Ash Street in the Cambie Corridor of Vancouver, near Queen Elizabeth Park.
