The August long weekend, celebrating canal-builder Col. John By in Ottawa and a slew of other figures elsewhere, will mean an extra day off for many. But since Monday, also widely known as Civic Holiday, is not an official statutory holiday under Ontario’s Retail Business Holidays Act, the list of closures for the day is a lot shorter than on other holidays.
Here’s a look at what’s open and closed — plus an advisory on the OPP’s holiday plans.
Shopping malls and retail
All Ottawa-area malls will remain open, but with shorter hours than usual:
• Place d’Orléans and St. Laurent Centre will both be open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Bayshore Shopping Centre will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Rideau Centre will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Other stores including Whole Foods, which came under fire for staying open on Good Friday, which is a statutory holiday, will also be open, in some cases with reduced hours. The ByWard Market said “many” of its restaurants and boutiques, as well as its Farmer’s Market, will be open with usual business hours.
City of Ottawa services
• OC Transpo will operate on a Sunday schedule, with additional service on routes 8, 94, 95 and 105. Para Transpo will be running a holiday service, meaning all regularly scheduled trips are cancelled.
• City Hall will be closed, as will all seven client service centres.
• The city’s Provincial Offences Court will be closed.
• 311 service will be available for urgent matters only.
• Garbage, recycling and green bin pickup will be pushed to Tuesday, and will be a day later than usual for the rest of the week.
• City-run childcare centres will be closed, so make sure you have alternate plans for your kids if you weren’t lucky enough to get the day off.
Recreation
• All beaches will be open, weather permitting.
• Some municipal pools will offer public swimming hours, while scheduled fitness classes may have modified hours. Check out the times on the city’s searchable list.
• City of Ottawa Archives, arts centres, galleries, theatres and museums will be closed.
• The Canadian Aviation Museum, Canadian War Museum, Canadian Museum of Nature, the National Gallery of Canada, the Canada Food and Agriculture Museum and (of course) the Bytown Museum will all be open with regular hours.
Alcohol
• Two LCBO stores will be open in Ottawa. The LCBO at 22 Isabella St. will be open from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the outlet at 275 Rideau St. will be open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• Select Ottawa-area Beer Stores will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Check the website for locations (note that Kanata and Gloucester are listed separately).
On the road
On what is typically one of the busiest days on area highways as people head to beaches, campsites and cottages, Ontario Provincial Police say they will be upping their presence, with a special emphasis on policing the “move over law.” It requires drivers approaching an emergency vehicle parked on the side of the highway to slow down, proceed with caution and, if the highway has more than one lane, move over.
