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.
