Limited Lakeshore GO Service, Gardiner Closures in Toronto This Weekend

It may be November, but Toronto is in store for a few warm, sunny days this weekend, meaning plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the city before it becomes a cold, slushy snowscape.

There's a whole slew of events happening in Toronto this weekend, from the Royal Winter Fair to an art market under the Bentway. But it's not finding events that's difficult -- it's getting to them. With a number of closures planned for the TTC, GO trains, and Toronto roads, you'll want to plan ahead before hopping in your car (or the subway or GO train) this weekend.
