Road closures
The City had no 2026 closure list that we could find on November 1. In 2025, Major Mackenzie Drive closed between Melville Avenue and Hill Street, and Melville Avenue closed between Kelso Crescent and Parktree Drive. Those are last year's closures, for a parade with a later start. Use the City's 2026 notice when it appears.
