Canada Day on July 1, 2025, will bring widespread closures of municipal services, banks, and government offices across major Canadian cities including Hamilton, Toronto, and Winnipeg, with transit running on holiday or reduced schedules. Most public facilities such as libraries and recreation centres will be closed, although some attractions like the Hockey Hall of Fame and Ontario Science Centre will open with limited hours. In Winnipeg, large Canada Day celebrations with live music, cultural events, and fireworks are scheduled at The Forks and Princess Auto Stadium, alongside neighborhood festivities. In Toronto, several Beer Store locations will open, while LCBOs and most grocery stores will be closed except for select chains. Hamilton's outdoor pools will operate as usual, but trail and park access may be restricted due to fireworks preparations. In the U.S., most major restaurant chains will open on July 4th, though hours will vary by location.
