The Civic Holiday long weekend will mean lots of different hours for businesses in St. Thomas and Elgin County.
All municipal buildings, offices, Canada Post as well as banks in both St. Thomas and Elgin County will be closed on Monday (August 3).
Most grocery stores in the city will be open on the holiday Monday, however their hours may differ slightly from normal.
The Beer Store will also be open on Monday from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. While most places will be open, it’s still a good idea to call ahead to anywhere you’re thinking of going to ensure they are open.
Those planning outdoor activities for the long weekend may want to do so for Friday or Saturday as Sunday calls for cloudy skies with a 70 percent chance of rain, with a similar forecast of cloudy with a 60 percent chance of showers on Monday.
