GO, Up Express, and TTC closures are affecting Toronto transit this weekend.

If you’re heading out on August 15–16, plan ahead. The entire Barrie Line and UP Express will be closed, while parts of the Kitchener Line and TTC Line 1 will also have service disruptions.

Replacement buses will be running on some routes, but certain stations won’t be served, so it’s a good idea to check your route before leaving.

Save this if you’re taking public transit this weekend, and share it with someone who needs to know.

A partial solar eclipse is visible over Toronto today.

The Moon will cover a small portion of the Sun this afternoon, with maximum eclipse happening at 1:40 PM and about 8% of the Sun covered.

Eclipse timing:
Begins: 12:55 PM
Maximum: 1:40 PM
Ends: 2:23 PM

It won’t get noticeably darker in Toronto, but you can still see the Moon taking a small “bite” out of the Sun with certified solar viewing glasses.

Never look directly at the Sun with regular sunglasses, and use a proper solar filter if you’re photographing the eclipse.
