What's open on Labour Day 2021 in Toronto won't be as lively as it was in year's past. Sadly, you won't be able to eat a waffle ice cream sandwich at the CNE. Instead, your options on September 6 are limited to things like visiting your local grocer or hitting up the mall.

Here's what's open and closed on Labour Day in Toronto this year.
