Terry Fox Day will take place on Monday, August 1, 2016. This weekend is also often referred to as August Long Weekend, however most of it is taking place in July this year.
Since it isn’t a statutory holiday, most places will remain open. Grocery stores will maintain regular hours and malls will use Sunday hours.
