Here's what's open in Toronto on Victoria Day weekend
CBC
If you're planning to take full advantage of the Victoria Day festivities this long weekend, here's a look at what will be open and closed in Toronto:
The City of Toronto will be holding its annual Victoria Day fireworks display at Ashbridges Bay Park on Monday, starting at 10 p.m.
People are advised to take public transit. Extra buses will be running before and after the show, Toronto police said.
Attendees are not allowed to set off their own fireworks, Supint. Kimberley O'Toole said Thursday. Drinking is also not permitted at Ashbridges Bay Park and speakers must be kept at a reasonable level, she said.
More police will be present at the beach this year, O'Toole said.
"When people come to the beach, some people are concerned about the increased police presence," she said. "We explain that it is to ensure that everyone is able to ensure a safe experience while they're here."
She also advised people to not get in the water as temperatures remain very cold.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
