Canada Day, on Wednesday, is a statutory holiday, which is great news until you get to the ever-frustrating question: What are we going to do today? A Wednesday stat holiday means that a long weekend will be out of the question for many, but in the silver lining department that serves as an excuse to stay in the city. Here is our list of the four best ways to spend your time off from the daily grind.
