Parking

As per their website, no payment is required for on-street parking in Edmonton on Monday, February 19th, due to the stat holiday.

Costco

While grocery and convenience stores will be open this Friday, Costco will be unshoppable this Family Day Monday – Looks like you’ll have to get your massive hot dog fix before February 19th.
