This Friday, November 11th, is Remembrance Day in Canada, which happens to be the last stat holiday of the year in BC. We know planning ahead for closures can be tricky, which is why we’re here to help.

Remembrance Day is about commemorating those who have fought for our country – and there are several ways to observe the day in Vancouver and honour the contributions of our soldiers & veterans. As it is a stat, here’s what’s open and closed in Vancouver on Remembrance Day this year.
