No... You might find an asian grocery store open, but for loblaws, sobeys, longos.. you are out of luck!

Try T&T, they open on some holidays while others are closed.

[Jucius Maximus]

There's a size limit threshold that determines whether or not they're affected. You might find small ones like Hasty Market open.

People should think about these things before the holiday. Everyone knows that the big stores will be closed.
If you just need an item or two, go to a Beckers or Mac's Milk convenience store and pay the premium. :)

Rabba is usually open on holidays.

what about those of us who do not celebrate victoria day???

Victoria Day refers to Queen Victoria, part of the British Monarchy. Since Canada is still connected to the Monarchy, technically any Canadian or anyone with a business presence in the country should be observing this holiday.

So those who do not celebrate Victoria day are businesses in other countries, which I am pretty sure will be open today. ;)

Hmm I was a little surprised today when I went out for groceries. This is my first long weekend in Ontario but in some other provinces stores tend to largely ignore long weekends.

I donno why canada and australia are clinging to the queen. Time to get rid of monarchy..nevertheless an additional day off is always nice :cheesygri

like u said....our statutory holidays are WAY too limited!!..haha..

realistically the advantage of monarchy is whenever you go to a country that doesn't have Canadian Embassy...the British Embassy will protect you whenever there's crap happens

Dont celebrate then. Its that simple.

[dynamic33]

Most gas stations will have essential grocery items.

[gordholio]

It's just the same as any holiday. Surely people haven't been here only a month or so. :)

Because a lot of people here want to live in Canada but don't want to appreciate Canadian traditions and customs :evil:

[lordg]

[bembol]

RFD should have a Sticky Posting what's Open/Close on every Holiday and Lock/Delete threads created. :evil:

The same way Canadians don't appreciate Aboriginal traditions. :twisted:

[Menace]

Yes, people haven't been here only a month or so, but they have been stupid ever since they were born ;)
