Fireworks and light shows. Outdoor parties and concerts. A whole lot of food. Happy 152nd birthday, Canada!

With so much to do throughout the city, here’s a look at what’s happening in and around Toronto monday:

First, the weather:

It should be near perfect, at least until tonight. Environment Canada is calling for a hot, mainly sunny Canada Day with temperatures climbing 29 C with a humidex of 35 and a very high UV index through the day.

Later tonight, however, the agency is calling for a 60 per cent chance of showers with a risk of thunderstorms.
