Victoria Day might not have the same pull this time around as in years past but a Monday day off should always be welcomed, regardless of whether a worldwide pandemic is going on or not.
As of now, the forecast for Monday is not very pretty as The Weather Network is forecasting up to 25 mm of rainfall.
Keeping in mind all of the businesses that are closed due to the lockdown, all municipal, federal, and provincial government offices will also be closed, even remotely.
