What's Open and Closed in Toronto this Easter Long Weekend

The Easter long weekend is finally here, albeit with a different tone, as residents are being asked to practice social distancing measures and all non-essential businesses remain closed.

On Friday, April 10, most Ontarians will have the day off, including essential workers at grocery stores and pharmacies, as per orders from Premier Doug Ford.

“We’ve been listening to business owners and employees – the truth is that everyone working in our grocery stores and pharmacies, our truck drivers and those working the line, they have been working day and night for weeks to keep the food and medicine we need on the shelves,” Ford said at his daily news conference on Wednesday afternoon at Queen’s Park.

“One way we are saying ‘thank you,’ is making sure they have this Friday and Sunday off,” said Ford, adding, "let’s give our workers a break that they’ve earned.”

Ford confirmed that stores will be open on Thursday, again on Saturday, and then again on Monday and all days following.

As for the rest of the city, most services will be completely shut down with a few exceptions. Here's what's open and closed on Good Friday in Toronto.

​The city needs 50% more housing starts a year to restore affordability over the next decade, and CMHC's new national report shows ownership construction stalling in Vancouver, too.

​“The general tone of Canada’s market will still be soft with our resales projections far below levels before the pandemic and home values just a smidgeon above the cyclical low,” said RBC.

This year's list of winners is multifaceted, and the real estate and development industry is proudly represented.

​Four Southern Alberta master-planned communities. One builder with a vision for how neighbourhoods should actually feel.

​August’s resale prices show the distance between housing types, and the competition a new project faces from homes buyers can purchase today.

​The 18-hole Delta Golf & Country Club at 11550 Ladner Truck Road in Delta was placed under receivership on December 15, 2025.

​"Governments deserve credit for the progress already made. But housing affordability will not be restored through half-measures or temporary programs."

​The site is 5680 Oak Street at the intersection with W 41st Avenue, and is adjacent to Grosvenor’s Mayfair West project, two blocks away from Oakridge Park.

​"If you've been sitting on a lease expiry hoping for one more quarter of softening before you commit, here's the uncomfortable part: the conditions that produced two years of tenant leverage are unwinding, and Peel is leading that shift, rather than lagging it."

​Of those units, 125 will have three bedrooms and 58 will have two — a split designed for families, rather than the studio- and one-bedroom-heavy stock that typically defines new rental supply.

The Bank left rates untouched, noting the economy gained real ground last quarter while inflation risk builds on oil prices and new tariffs.

For your information, reference, and networking needs, here are the moves, hires, and promotions the real estate and development industry saw in August 2026.

​The ReStays and ReResidences at 101 Queen St. and 108-116 Sparks St. in Ottawa was developed by Ashcroft Homes and was placed under receivership last year.

If you're of the belief that summer should last forever, this might be the move for you.

​“We found a clear relationship between homelessness rates and rent prices for lowest-quartile units,” said the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness.

​Selling after garnering three competing offers, 211 Dunvegan Road is the highest-value sale in the neighbourhood’s history, and the most expensive in Toronto in nearly five years.
