If you were planning on taking today to do a bit of shopping, you’re out of luck.
Canada Day is a stat holiday, and that means that the majority of businesses are closed, including Champlain Mall, other retail and grocery stores, and all banks and government offices.
You may find a few drug stores open, and for those who are hoping to get a hot beverage this morning, many coffee shops are open as well..
Your best bet is to call ahead..
