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.

Since this is Toronto, there are quite literally hundreds of ongoing road closures and disruptions, so below are a few of the major ones you'll want to be aware of this weekend. A full list of road closures can be found here.
