Toronto bars will be open early this weekend so sports fans can gather and watch the final events of the Sochi Olympics.

City Councillors voted 37-4 to allow bars, cafes and restaurants to serve alcohol starting at 7 a.m. EST this weekend, except in York Centre, York South and Willowdale.

Canada captured a historic fourth Olympic gold medal in women’s hockey Thursday with a 3-2 overtime win over the United States in a thrilling final.

On the men’s side, Canada faces the United States in the semifinals on Friday at 12 p.m. EST. The men’s final is slated for 7 a.m. EST on Sunday.

B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said Thursday that bars and pubs in the westernmost province will be allowed to extend their hours for the early-morning men’s gold medal game in Sochi, although last call will remain the same. The matchup takes place at 4 a.m. PST.

On the East Coast, Bubba Ray’s sports bar in Halifax secured a special liquor licence to open as early as 6 a.m. AST for key games to serve eager fans.
