Here's a list of all the shopping malls now open near Toronto

Shopping malls near Toronto have the green light to reopen during Stage 2 of the provincial government's regional approach to reopening Ontario.

Since Toronto is still in Stage 1, plenty of shopping centres just outside the city lines are welcoming back shoppers as of today. Just check with individual shopping centres to verify which stores are open inside the mall.

Many malls have added enhanced cleaning services, directional signage and reduced or closed amenities to help ensure the health and safety of everyone.

So if you're up for a day trip, you don't have to travel too far to get some much-needed retail therapy.
