Good Friday and Easter Sunday: List of everything open and closed in Ontario

  • by

Easter weekend is approaching, so you’ll want to bunny-hop down your to-do list and complete all of your errands ahead of time.

Good Friday is a statutory holiday in Ontario, so if you delay your food and spirits shopping to the last minute, you may find shuttered stores and an empty dinner table for any guests you may be hosting.

Whether you celebrate Easter or not, the holiday falls on Sunday, April 9, and most malls, grocery shops, and government offices will be closed.

While Good Friday is a legal holiday, many individuals may look forward to a long weekend, and possibly even a four-day weekend, with Easter Monday, but not everyone in Ontario is promised the Monday off.

To assist you in your planning, here is a list of everything that will be open and closed in Ontario on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
