P-Mall IIRC

As the topic says

The ones that are open are open and those that are closed are not.

Would probably make more sense to think about where you may be shopping then look at those particular malls' web sites. I'm sure there are probably quite a few malls in the GTA.

* All federal government services, including Canada Passport Offices, Canada Post and Federal Court

I think the City of Toronto changed their retail holidays law to include Family Day, it didn't last year, so most will be closed. Eaton Centre will be open though.

Vaughan Mills will also be open as with most holidays.

That's because Family Day didn't exist last year.

Yes it was a holiday last year. This year is the second one.

However the City of Toronto has special powers to set retail holidays, they hadn't changed the law to reflect this holiday yet. They're using the same list as the ones in the Retail Business Holidays Act.

I still don't think that any should be open since the idea is to spend the day with family and having stores open means that employees can't be with family and shoppers will be out at the stores and not with their family.

I have to work...

[Jubo]

I particularly looking for Pacific Mall if they are open but there website says its open all-round yearly... so that answers my question.

But yah... also am looking for other malls too if they are open... like Gerrard Square, Woodside Mall (finch/McCowan) and STC.

[speedyforme]

Is Square One closed?

[Broli's Mom]

CORRECTION: Vaughan Mills will be closed for Family Day.

Seems a little unusual as the open on most holidays.
