The parade isn't the only thing impacting commuters this weekend.

The TTC's Line 3 in Scarborough will be closed on Saturday for maintenance.

Shuttle buses will run from Midland Avenue to Scarborough Centre, with stops at all five Scarborough RT stations. However, Ellesmere, Midland and McCowan stations will be closed.

Wheel-Trans service will still be available by request from any station during the weekend.
