What’s better than a long weekend? A long weekend in the Summer! Since this isn’t a statutory holiday, most places will either be open and operating on Sunday hours or regular hours on Monday.
Grocery stores will maintain regular hours and malls will use Sunday hours.
This will be the second year that the Civic Holiday is refereed to as Terry Fox Day in Manitoba.
