Opening remarks are at 2 pm. Indoor activities at One Market will be announced this winter. Harmony Square activities are weather permitting. Over the long weekend there is also outdoor skating at Harmony Square (Sat and Mon 10 am to 10 pm, Sun 7 to 10 pm), public swims at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre (2 to 4 pm daily, regular rates) and $4 pre-booked tours of the Bell Homestead on Family Day Monday.
