Let’s face it, it’s easy to forget just how many places are closed or operating with reduced hours every time a stat holiday rolls around. While this year’s Victoria Day marks the complete re-opening of the province and there’s no doubt a ton to do, planning is key!

This Victoria Day, be prepared for whatever comes your way–be it rain or shine, or reduced grocery store hours. Enjoy a cup of coffee from Breka, say hi to Jessica Seal at the Aquarium, or take some extra time to sleep in.

So, without further ado – let’s dive into what’s open and closed on Monday this long weekend.
