If you’re eating out this long weekend you should be in luck as restaurants are expected to have their doors open. But we still suggest calling ahead and making sure where you plan to eat is open.

If you’re looking to grab some drinks over the weekend you won’t be able to. All LCBO and Beer Store locations will be closed both Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Don’t worry, the TTC and GO Transit will still be running over the long weekend, but expect holiday scheduling on Friday.
