What's Open And Closed In Toronto On Easter Weekend 2024

It's been a long and grey winter, but it seems that the temperatures are finally warming up again just in time for the Easter long weekend.

Easter may be a bit earlier than usual this year, but the break (and all the Easter chocolate that comes with it) is certainly welcome. If you're lucky enough to get an extra day or two off this weekend and want to spend it out and about in Toronto, you'll want to be sure to check whether your destination is open, because traipsing all the way to the grocery store or the mall just to find out it's closed for the day is fun for no one.
