What's open and closed in Edmonton this Heritage Day long weekend
The Heritage Day long weekend is almost upon us, and the City of Edmonton will be making some minor accommodations to its services to reflect this.
Most City services will remain open; however, there are adjustments to operating hours in place. A reminder that Heritage Day is not a statutory holiday in Alberta, and if an employer recognizes an additional holiday, all employment standards rules related to holiday pay apply to these additional holidays.
Here’s what’s open — and what’s not — for Heritage Day long weekend 2025.
Movie theatres
