The Thanksgiving Holiday means a day off for most this coming Monday, bringing important changes to government offices and store hours.
Municipal, provincial, and federal government offices and agencies will be closed until Tuesday.
Beer and liquor stores will also be closed, although that isn’t as large a factor since beer and wine sales began at local convenience stores.
Post offices, Service Canada, Ontario Offices, and passport offices will be closed.
Many grocery stores and retail establishments will be closed for the day, but some will have reduced hours, such as in Smiths Falls and Perth.
Most major pharmacies will remain open, ensuring continued access to essential medications. Furthermore, most restaurants and pubs eagerly await Canada Day revelers, ready to offer their services.
The health unit will be closed. Complete details on what will be open at the health unit can be found at healthunit.org.
And this is the last weekend for navigation on the Rideau Canal Corridor.
Residents are encouraged to check with their local town halls to see what services are affected.
