Labour Day Openings and Closures List
Labour Day, a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September, is fast approaching. Here's a round-up of what you can expect in terms of business hours and closures across various cities in Canada.
The shopping centres in the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, and other major cities like Waterloo Region, London, Windsor-Essex, Manitoba, and Calgary, will have varying operating hours on Labour Day. While most shopping centres like Ottawa's Rideau Centre or Toronto's Sherway Gardens will operate from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., others may be closed. It is recommended to check the specific mall's website or contact them directly for precise hours on that date.
Major grocery chains typically close stores for the holiday Monday, though some locations may remain open with reduced hours. It is advisable to call ahead before shopping trips to confirm store availability. In-store pharmacies and other services may be closed, even if the stores themselves are open.
Calgary will close all arenas, indoor pools, fitness centres, some arts and animal services centres, but public golf courses will stay open. Provincial government offices, federal government services, including Service Canada locations and passport and department offices, will be closed. Most local government services will have closures, but specifics may vary by municipality.
Municipal public transit typically operates on holiday schedules for Labour Day, meaning reduced hours or routes. The Toronto Transit Commission will operate on Sunday hours this Monday, with an earlier start of around 6 a.m. for all routes. Local transit service schedules can be checked for Labour Day closures and adjustments.
Canada Post will not deliver or collect mail on Labour Day, but privately owned post offices may be open at the franchisee's discretion. Major banks will close all branches for Labour Day, but ATMs and online mobile banking services will still be available.
School years in Canada typically begin on September 2. However, it is essential to note that some provinces prohibit retail stores from opening on holidays, leading to varying availability across the country.
It is always a good idea to check local information for Labour Day closures and adjustments to ensure a smooth and hassle-free holiday. Enjoy your Labour Day weekend!
