Can you operate your business on a holiday?

We get asked this question frequently at the approach of any holiday. According to the Retail Business Holidays Act there are nine (9) holidays where retail businesses must be closed each year. There are exceptions and municipalities may have By-Laws that supersede this Act.

If you are not sure review these documents. Happy Easter weekend to all!

• Review the Retail Business Holidays Act

• Review municipal By-Law 180-01 Being a By-law to authorize Retail Business Establishments to Operate on Certain Holidays, as amended
