The upcoming July 1st Holiday, falling on a Saturday, brings important changes to government offices and store hours. Municipal, provincial, and federal government offices and agencies will be closed on Monday, July 3rd. Consequently, beer and liquor stores will remain closed, although agency stores found in convenience stores may operate.
Post offices, Service Canada, Ontario Offices, and passport offices will also be closed. Most grocery stores and retail establishments will be closed for the day, while some operate on reduced hours, such as in Smiths Falls and Perth.
All major pharmacies will remain open today, ensuring continued access to essential medications. Furthermore, most restaurants and pubs eagerly await Canada Day revelers, ready to offer their services.
However, it’s important to note that the health unit will be closed for the day, so it’s advisable to plan accordingly for any healthcare-related needs.
Dr. Linna Li tells us they do have some services that will be running but most won’t.
Complete details on what will be open at the health unit can be found at healthunit.org.
Stay informed about the closures, store hours, and available services to make the most of this Canada Day Holiday. Enjoy the celebrations responsibly, and have a memorable and safe holiday!
