August 4 holiday in Canada Malls opened

Question

Today is a public holiday in Canada. How do I find out which malls and stores are opened in the GTA?

Answer 1

The person above me went way off on your question. She provided unnecessary information that has nothing to do with your question. Anyways, you could simply just call the mall and find out if they are open or closed. All the malls were open, they just closed at an earlier time - at 6:00 pm.
