For the second straight year, Canada Day celebrations will look a lot different in Toronto.

There are no large outdoor celebrations or fireworks displays planned and most tourist attractions are still closed under the current COVID-19 restrictions.

Government offices, libraries, banks, and post offices will also be closed.

But you can still spend the day at the beach, on the golf course or at the zoo.
