Malls such as Vaughan Mills and CF Markville will be open Canada Day while banks will be closed.
We’ve put in our time. We’ve bundled up, scraped ice off of windshields, shovelled driveways, and braved the bitter, bitter cold. Now, finally, it’s here. We get our reward … that beloved time of year — the warm sunshine, the freedom of T-shirts and shorts and of course the excitement of fireworks and celebrating. Canada Day!!! Now down to practicalities: What can we do on Canada Day? Where can we go? What’s open and closed? Here’s some information for you:
