What's open and closed on Truth and Reconciliation day in Vancouver
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
This year marks the first time ever that Canada is observing Truth and Reconciliation Day, a new national holiday, which takes place on Thursday, September 30.
While some provinces have suggested that they would not be observing the day, BC is planning to honour it as a day of commemoration, not as a statutory holiday.
We’ve compiled a list of the places that are open on Truth and Reconciliation Day in Vancouver. Some businesses may be announcing changes in the days leading up to September 30.
