The long weekend is almost here! Who doesn’t love a good old May two-four (aka Victoria Day) celebration? Although we’re all still stuck in the stay-at-home order that’s remaining in place until June 2nd, there are still a few businesses that’ll be up and running. Of course, as per the quarantine, you should only stop by for essential reasons. Nonetheless, here’s everything you need to know.
