Toronto 
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible in several Canadian provinces, including Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
This event occurs when the moon aligns between the Earth and the Sun, completely obscuring the latter and allowing viewers in the path of totality to see the solar corona.
For those aiming in Toronto, Hamilton and Niagara are prime viewing locations.
Eye protection is essential for safely observing the eclipse. Select Metro locations are offering free ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses are available with the purchase of a pizza from select Metro locations, subject to availability.
These locations include Metro Niagara Falls at 7835 McLeod Rd., Metro Lakeshore at 101 Lakeshore Rd., and Metro Winona Crossing at 1370 South Service Rd.
