The last long weekend of the summer is here. However, the good news is that the Liquor Mart strike is over and all Manitoba Liquor Marts are now open. Here’s a list of what’s open and what’s closed for the September Labour Day long weekend.


Labour Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. In Canada and the United States, it is celebrated on the first Monday of September and considered the official end of the summer holiday for most of the respective countries, as public school and university students return to school that week or the following week.
