Grouse Grind to close an hour earlier starting Monday

If you’re a weeknight (Grouse) Grinder here’s a quick heads-up: You’ve got less time to do it, starting on Monday.

Beginning on October 2, the Grind will be closed an hour earlier each evening, at 5:30 pm.

“With sunset coming earlier at this time of year, the closing time for the Grouse Grind will also change to an earlier time,” said Metro Vancouver in a statement.

For early-morning rise and Grinders though, the opening time of 6:15 am will remain the same.
