Toronto Reopens: Post-Easter Fun & Shopping

0:00It's April 5th. Welcome in. This is Canada News today, where local news meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Easter Monday in Toronto, on April 6th, means most spots are back to business as usual, unlike the closures on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Think regular hours for shopping and fun, with just a handful of holdouts like government offices, city hall, libraries, mail delivery and community. Rex Center's staying shut. It's not a statutory holiday for provincial workers in Ontario, but federal employees get it off paid. That keeps banks humming along, plus full regular service on TTC and Geo Transit, so getting around stays easy. For food, hit up grocery stores, the beer store, indie bottle shops, or some LCBL spots on reduced hours. Many restaurants pick Mondays to close anyway, so definitely call ahead to avoid a surprise. Major malls like Eaton Center, Yorkdale, and Sherway Gardens swing open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

1:00with a few tweaks like Pacific Mall till 8 p.m. Attractions fire up to ROM, Toronto Zoo, CN Tower, CN Tower, Casa Loma, and Ripley's Aquarium all welcome crowds from morning through evening. A few spots like Saint Lawrence Market and Canada's Wonderland stay closed. And outdoor rings are done for the season, but overall, Toronto bounces back. Quick for that post-easter vibe.
