What's open and closed on September 30 in Ontario
September 30 marks the first time Canada will recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a statutory holiday.
While the day will not be a statutory holiday in Ontario, there are still some business closures to be aware of.
Anyone who works for a federally regulated company, that operates under the Canada Labour Code, will receive a paid holiday for National Truth and Reconciliation Day.
All federal public service workers in Ontario will also get Sept. 30 off work.
