TORONTO — The Toronto Zoo will reopen Thursday after being closed by a month-long strike.

Unionized workers at Canada’s largest zoo ratified a new four-year collective agreement on Sunday.

The Toronto Zoo Board of Management announced Monday that it too had ratified the accord.

Management staff have been caring for the zoo’s 5,000 animals during the contract dispute.
