Here is an A-Z list of things in Toronto affected by the city workers' strike.

Animals

All scheduled surgeries in city-run animal clinics are cancelled, and just three of the city's animal shelters will be open - 146 the East Mall, 1300 Sheppard Ave., and 821 Progress Ave. - and only between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Beaches

Beaches remain open and lifeguards will remain on duty, but daily testing - and posting - of water quality levels has been suspended.

Canada Day

The city's Canada Day events are cancelled, as are:

- Amesbury Canada Day, Amesbury Park

Daycare and day camps

All of the city's 57 daycare centres are now closed and city-run day camps will be cancelled during the strike. Anxious parents are scrambling to enrol their children in private-run day camps — such as sports or arts camps — that remain open during the strike.

Economic development, culture

Enterprise Toronto and small business centres are closed. The Toronto Film and Television Office is open, but with reduced service.

Forestry

If any city-owned trees begin to pose a hazard to the public, the city's urban forestry department will intervene.

Garbage

Residential garbage collection is cancelled everywhere except Etobicoke, where it's privatized. Currently, there are seven drop-off sites but 19 more were announced by the city today.

The wait time to drop off garbage varies from 15 minutes to half-hour at all the sites where union members are picketing.

Commercial waste is being weighed and is subject to a $100 per tonne tip fee.

Yellow bag program collection has been cancelled.

Health

Toronto's sexual health clinics will be closed during the strike. Health education is cut and outreach is cut back. The city has also cancelled catch-up immunization clinics for elementary students who missed their original needles for Hepatitis B, Meningitis C, and Human papillomavirus (HPV). The city says they can still respond to emergencies - such as outbreaks, spills, and fires - and have some emergency services still running, like emergency hotlines.

Island ferry

Toronto's official Island Ferry service is cancelled, but several private ferries are still running, having been chartered by groups, such as the YMCA, or by the island's TDSB-operated public school.

Jobs

The city of Toronto is not taking new job applications during the strike, nor will they now examine ones previously submitted.

Kids

All child care centres operated by the Toronto Children's Services are closed and no new applications for child care fee subsidies or transfer to other childcare centres are being processed.

Libraries

Only five library branches - located in shared facilities with city services - will be closed during the duration of the strike. They are: Armour Heights, Flemingdon Park, St. James Town, Todmorden Room and Port Union. It's business - and programs - as usual at the rest of the branches.

Museums and galleries

Open: The Art Gallery of Ontario, Royal Ontario Museum and Harbourfront Centre

Closed: Colborne Lodge, Fort York National Historic Site, Gibson House Museum, Historic Zion House, Mackenzie House, Montgomery's Inn, Scarborough Historical Museum, Spadina Museum: Historic House & Gardens, Todmorden Mills Heritage Museum and Arts Centre, York Museum.

Newspapers

No blue bin recycling is being picked up, so store your newspapers, tins, plastics and other recyclables away until collection resumes.

Official documents

Can still be delivered to the city clerk's office, but only on the ground floor at city hall. All other offices are closed.

Parking tickets

Park, get fined, get it cancelled later. Hopefully. No parking permits are being issued. If you receive a parking ticket in an area for which you have been unable to obtain a parking permit, the ticket will be cancelled when you get the new permit.

Open: Parking tag payments can only be made at the First Appearance facility at 1530 Markham Rd. (Markham Rd. and Milner Ave.) for the duration of the strike. Extended business hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. Not exactly a convenient location - and expect long lineups and delays.

Closed: First Appearance facilities at Metro Hall (55 John St.), North York Civic Centre (5100 Yonge St.), York Civic Centre (2700 Eglinton Ave. West.)

Public buildings

Public access to city buildings will be difficult and plagued by delays. You may also have to cross the city workers' picket line to conduct whatever business you have inside.

Access to many of the GTA's main public buildings — such as Toronto city hall, Metro Hall and the North York, York or Scarborough Civic Centres — will be ground-floor only, unless escorted.

Quality

Water quality tests at beaches and restaurant inspections have been suspended.

Recreation - parks and pools

All indoor and outdoor swimming pools are closed. Some splash pads on timers may remain operational depending on maintenance and site conditions. Call before you go.

As for parks, enter at your own risk: city staff won't empty garbage bins, clear away drifts of illegally dumped garbage, or mow the lawns. Public washrooms in city parks will also be closed.

Sports

Kind of a grey area. While a soccer league in the Beach has not cancelled any of its games, most other places have. An update on the beaches' website, though, clearly acknowledges that field maintenance will be an issue soon as the grass grows.

Taxi

If you are a cabbie and your licence is up for renewal, here's some bad news for you: you'll have to wait for the strike to end. Licences for businesses and vehicles are not being issued or renewed for the duration of the strike.

Utilities

For water and solid waste bill payments, all enquiry/cashier counters and drop boxes located in Toronto City Hall and the civic centres, as well as the tax and water call centre, remain closed.

Vehicle inspections

Will be rescheduled.

Weddings

Wedding facilities in Scarborough, East York and York civic centres will be closed, but wedding ceremonies will continue at Toronto city hall, which will also still issue marriage licenses. At the North York Civic Centre, only scheduled ceremonies will take place.

The Ex

The CNE's job fair, which started Wednesday, is to continue Friday.

Youth programming

All city-run community centres are closed; likewise most of their city-run programming. However, ten community centres across the city have remained open since their union local - CUPE Local 2998 - is not on strike. They are:

- 519 Church St.

- Applegrove Community Complex

- Cecil Street Community Centre

- Central Eglinton Community Centre

- Community Centre 55

- Eastview Neighbourhood Community Centre

- Harbourfront Community Centre

- Ralph Thornton Community Centre

- Scadding Court Community Centre (pool closed)

- Swansea Town Hall

Zoo

The Metro Toronto Zoo remains open, since their employees are in a different union, CUPE Local 1600.
