What’s open, closed this August long weekend

By Lucas Casaletto

The August Civic holiday brings with it a long weekend for many, but also ample closures across the City and GTA.

Similar to most holidays, Canada Post offices and city hall will be closed. The same can be said for some banks and libraries.

The TTC will operate on its holiday service schedule for Monday. As a result, TTC routes will run on a Sunday service schedule and start at 6:00 a.m. Routes that do not typically run on Sundays will not be in service on the Civic holiday.

Several Ontario LCBO stores will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. though some specific locations will be closed. Approximately 200 Beer Stores will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Most grocery stores will be open but could be on limited hours. Movie theatres, such as Cineplex, will stay open.

And if you’re headed to cottage country, brace yourself, as it’s going to be cooler than usual. Daytime highs will only be reaching the lower 20s for southern areas and hover around the teens across cottage country.
