With Wednesday being Remembrance Day, we have a few closures to note.
All municipal buildings and offices across St. Thomas and Elgin County will be closed on Wednesday.
Federal offices, including Service Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency, will not be operating.
Banks will also be closed for the day, and Canada Post will not be making any deliveries. Schools are operating as normal, with Remembrance Day events planned across our local boards.
Most grocery stores and shopping centres will be open, but it’s best to double check hours of our small businesses who may be taking the day to honour our veterans.
