What's open and closed in Montreal on Remembrance Day

Nov 11 2020, 2:25 pm

On November 11, Canadians across the nation will observe Remembrance Day.

This year will look different due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with ceremonies taking place online instead of in person.

Remembrance Day is not a statutory holiday in Quebec, but some businesses and government offices will still be closed on Wednesday.

We’d always recommend calling the office, restaurant, or shop in question before leaving your house to make sure.
