Gas prices, TTC closures, weather: what you need to know for this weekend (May 14-15) – CP24 Toronto's Breaking News
It will be hot and mostly sunny this weekend, and if you are planning to go out, there are several things you need to keep in mind.
GAS PRICES
Driving? Well, prices at the pumps will reach a new record this weekend, surpassing the $2 a litre mark on Saturday. An additional six-cent hike is expected on Sunday, according to one industry analyst.
– SATURDAY: $2.02/litre
– SUNDAY: $2.08/litre
Dan McTeague, the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, said he expects gas prices to reach $2.10 per litre by the May long weekend. He noted that prices will remain above the $2 mark for the foreseeable future.
“I think this summer it’s going to look for another 10 cents a litre. So we’re looking perhaps a new normal being anywhere from $2.10 to $2.15, with days pushing to $2.20,” he said.
“High prices are here to stay.”
TTC CLOSURES
Taking public transit? There will be no subway service on the portion of Line 2 on Saturday and Sunday. Trains will not be running between Broadview and Woodbine stations due to track work.
Shuttle buses will be running.
There will also be no service on the 174 Ontario Place bus from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Sunday to accommodate the Juno Awards.
WEATHER
Sunny conditions will continue this weekend. On Saturday, the high will be 27 C with a humidex of 32. Environment Canada said it will be slightly cooler near Lake Ontario.
On Sunday, it will be a mix of sun and cloud. There is a 30 per cent chance of showers with a high of 27 C.

The federal government is unfurling a voluntary code of conduct for generative AI as anxiety persists over its proliferation and pace of development.
Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne announced the code on Wednesday at the All In artificial intelligence conference in Montreal, where Canadian technology companies including OpenText and Cohere pledged to sign on.
The document lays out measures organizations can take when working in generative AI — the algorithmic engine behind chatbots such as ChatGPT, which can spit out anything from term papers to psychotherapy.
The government says the measures align with six key principles that include equity, transparency and human oversight.
Amid both excitement and angst over the seemingly boundless scale of AI advancement, the federal government in June tabled a bill outlining a general approach to AI guardrails and leaves details to a later date, saying it will come into force no sooner than 2025.
Artificial intelligence pioneer Yoshua Bengio, who has stated the legislation puts Canada on the right path even as progress remains too slow, says public fear still hangs over the sector and that more investment toward safety and standards is essential.
