You blink, and it's August, which means that the Civic Holiday is nearly upon us. For some, this means a long weekend; for all, it means access to certain services, businesses, and attractions will be limited on Monday.
While many businesses will close their doors on Monday, August 5, some shopping centres, grocery stores, and pharmacies will remain open, albeit with reduced hours. It's best to check with individual stores for their holiday hours. Most major attractions will open to the public as well, so there will be plenty of options for some long weekend entertainment.
