Monday marks the August 4 Civic Holiday, and for the luckier among us, that means a long weekend. It also means that access to certain services and businesses may out of the norm. In particular, all banks, government services, and libraries will be closed.
That being said, most shopping centres, grocery stores, and pharmacies will remain open, and most major attractions will be open to the public as well, so there will be plenty of options for weekend entertainment. In any case, it’s always a good idea to check with individual stores and attractions for their hours.
The City of Toronto is also advising that the August Civic Holiday is not a designated fireworks day, so those who wish to set off fireworks on their properties are required to obtain a permit. More information can be found on the City’s website.
