July 1st is a federal holiday, and that means we all get to enjoy some extra time with friends & family!
Be aware of what’s open and closed on Canada Day! Lots of stores and businesses will be closed, others will be open. Make sure to call beforehand just to make sure, and make sure to plan your errands for Saturday and Sunday if you need to!
