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.

​A rezoning application for 6645, 6659, 6675, 6691, and 6707 Dow Avenue in Burnaby was submitted a few years ago, but Peterson is now revising the plan.

Here's what industry insiders should know about recent changes to Ontario's new home warranty program — and how you can play a role.

​If built as proposed, Toronto Rail Yards would generate significant economic activity: project materials estimate up to 4,600 construction jobs and approximately $1.5 billion in labour income over the course of development.

​The subject site of the rezoning application is 259-293 E 11th Ave and 216 Kingsway, which includes Coast Mental Health's offices.

Middle East conflict, elevated oil prices, and persistent trade uncertainty cloud the near-term outlook.

​The Villages Planning Program proposes changes that would enable more low-rise housing and shops and services in 17 areas across the city.

For a loft lover with a preference for a small-community feel, this address offers the best of both worlds.

​The eight-property, 5.3-million-sq.-ft portfolio spans Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Ottawa.

​While the region may be in a buyer's market, the traditional waterfront listings with all the bells and whistles are still asking a pretty penny.

​Republic Developments and Harlo Capital listed the 26-acre site last year, but will now move forward with an investment from the Building Ontario Fund.

​"The path forward exists if governments are willing to act with seriousness and consistency. What remains uncertain, though, is whether the political will exists to follow it."

​Prices have remained flat or fallen, but demand remains muted both in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
