For many people, Labour Day signifies the last unofficial day of summer. Time is spent at a cabin, in the pool or asking yourself “where did the summer go?”
This year, the statutory holiday takes place on Monday, September 2.
In celebration of the long weekend, many businesses are shut down. But, since nobody wants to be locked outside of Costco on a day off, we’ve put together a list of what’s open and closed this Monday in Vancouver.
