The Toronto Zoo temporarily closes following a power outage during a heat wave, according to zoo officials. In a statement, the zoo says the outage affects “guest-facing services” across the site and that the facility decides to close “out of an abundance of caution.” The outage occurs around Canada Day, when the zoo is forced to shut its doors to visitors. Despite the closure, zoo staff work to ensure that animals remain cool and cared for during the disruption. Officials indicate plans to reopen the facility on Thursday, once power and related services are restored. The Winnipeg Free Press and CityNews Toronto report the same sequence of events: the zoo experiences a power outage during hot weather, closes as a precaution for visitors and operations, and expects to resume opening once conditions allow. No details are provided in the available reports on the cause of the outage or whether any animals were affected, beyond the steps the zoo takes to maintain animal comfort.
