Thanksgiving is just around the corner, Vancouver! And we couldn’t be more excited to share a special meal with friends and family. However, in light of it being a stat holiday – we thought we’d go over what’s open and closed so people can plan ahead.
The good news is that most stores and many attractions will remain open as usual, with the exception of government offices, municipal buildings, banks, post offices, and some grocery stores. The latter is probably the most important, given the food-focused nature of this holiday.
Without further ado, here’s what’s open and closed on Thanksgiving Monday, (October 10th) this year.
