What can residents expect on Easter Sunday in Toronto and Halifax? Most businesses and services in Toronto will be closed, making it a day of rest for many. However, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and GO Transit will operate regular service, ensuring that those who need to travel can do so.

In Toronto, while major grocery chains will be closed, select Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall locations will remain open, providing some options for last-minute needs. Notably, The Beer Store and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) will also be open, catering to those looking to celebrate with beverages.

Meanwhile, in Halifax, Easter Sunday is not a statutory holiday, but it is designated as a ‘retail closing day’ across the province. This means that most major retailers and shopping centres will be closed, and most city services will also shut down for the day. Halifax Transit will operate on a normal weekend schedule, allowing residents to navigate the city.

For those in Halifax looking to shop, the Gateway Meat Market in Dartmouth will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., while the Kingswood Market in Hammons Plains will welcome customers from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. These exceptions provide limited options for those needing supplies on this holiday.

Fr. Frank Brennan delivered a homily on Easter Sunday 2026, emphasizing themes of hope and truth. He reminded the congregation of the significance of the day, stating, “Happy Easter. Paul tells the Corinthians in today’s second reading: ‘Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed; let us celebrate the feast…’”

Brennan further reflected on maintaining hope, saying, “We maintain our hope by being attentive to the little signs as were Peter and the other disciple in today’s gospel from John.” His message resonated with many, highlighting the spiritual importance of Easter Sunday.

As families gather to celebrate this significant day, the closures and limited services will shape the experience in both cities. Easter Monday waste collection will continue as per usual in Halifax, indicating a return to normalcy after the holiday.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to service schedules or additional openings, so residents are encouraged to check local listings for updates as the day approaches.
