Summer is quickly coming to a close, but before it ends, Canadians get to enjoy one last long weekend. Labour Day is happening Monday, September 5, which means an extra day to get in all of the Toronto summer activities you didn't have a chance to.


But of course since it's Labour Day, that also means plenty of spots around the city will close their doors for the day to give their employees some time off, so planning ahead is key.

To make things a bit easier, here's what will be open and closed in Toronto this Labour Day.
