Here's what's open and closed in Calgary this May long weekend

It’s hard to believe we’re already a week into May, and the much-anticipated long weekend is finally just around the corner.

This year, Victoria Day falls on May 20, and many stores and services will be closed for the day or operating on adjusted hours.

If you have some big parties planned or are hoping to enjoy some local recreation, make sure they’re open before you hit the road!

There are a ton of fun places to visit over the holiday long weekend. Try visiting the zoo and meeting their two new polar bears (if you haven’t already), Telus Spark, which will operate under normal hours on Monday, or Heritage Park. This year, you can even catch a special Victoria Day Tea at Heritage Park!
