Here's what's open and closed in Toronto this Civic Holiday
This Civic Holiday long weekend people can expect a mix of closures, modified hours and plenty of open attractions as Toronto and the GTA gear up for the August long weekend. Celebrated on the first Monday of August, the Civic Holiday — sometimes referred to as Simcoe Day in Toronto — offers a midsummer break for many, though it's not a statutory holiday in Ontario. That means provincially regulated employers aren't legally required to give this day off, and some businesses may stay open or operate on reduced hours.

Another 11 Beer Store locations set to close because of ‘changes in the retail market'
Another 11 Beer Store locations will close their doors in September, the company has announced, as it continues to steadily shutter its storefronts facing competition from grocery, convenience and big box stores. The latest round of store closures will affect places like Brampton, Barrie and Wawa, Ont., which will stop operating on Sept. 28, a news release confirmed. A statement from The Beer Store, which has accompanied each of its store closure announcements, said it was a 'difficult decision,' which came as a result of 'changes in the retail market in Ontario.' It's coming up on a year since the Ford government allowed grocery, convenience and big box stores to start selling alcohol. In order to make that possible, the province had to break an exclusivity agreement with The Beer Store, setting aside $225 million for the company. Story continues below advertisement Under the agreement signed between the two, the Beer Store must keep at least 300 locations open until the end of this year. After that, it can close as many stores as it chooses. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day.

The company is owned by Molson, Labatt and Sleeman. Calculations by Global News based on public announcements and figures from the union representing workers at The Beer Store show the latest raft of closures will take the total to more than 90 since the changes to how alcohol is sold in Ontario were announced. The stores set to close on Sept. 28 are: Bala, 3025 Hwy. #169, Bala, ON, P0C 1A0 Brampton, 10585 Bramalea Rd., Bldg.

Story continues below advertisement More than 1.6 billion alcohol containers were processed at its locations annually. All grocery stores that sell alcohol will be required to accept the return of empties and refund customer deposits starting on Jan. 1, 2026, as part of provincial regulations, the Beer Store said. — with files The Canadian Press
