Canada Day: closures & fireworks

While it’s business as usual for us at CHCH tomorrow, government offices, libraries, banks, LCBO and beer stores are closed for Canada Day, along with most grocery & retail stores outside of tourist areas.

There will be no mail tomorrow, and electricity will be at the off-peak rate all day. In most areas, garbage and recycling collection will be delayed a day for the rest of the week.

Transit will be running on holiday schedules – and in Mississauga it’s free from 7 tomorrow morning until midnight.

The skies will be lit up with fireworks tomorrow. There will be shows over Niagara Falls, at Bayfront Park in Hamilton, at Canada’s Wonderland, and in Toronto at Ashbridges Bay and Mel Lastman Square. Most start around 10 tomorrow night.
