What’s open and closed in Kingston for the 2021 May long weekend

With Ontario’s  COVID-19 stay-at-home order still in place, many of the usual activities that would mark the May long weekend in Kingston are closed.

Gatherings indoors and out are still limited to those within your household, and restaurants will remain open for take-out only until June 14, when the province commences lifting of lockdown measures.

Starting Saturday, golf courses and driving ranges, soccer and other sports fields, tennis and basketball courts and skate parks will begin reopening.

No outdoor sports or recreational classes are permitted. As heat rises in the area, local splash pads will remain closed as well.

According to KFL&A Public Health, the Beechgrove assessment centre will be open for regular hours, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., throughout the long weekend.

All government offices and banks will be closed on the stat holiday Monday.

LCBOs will remain shuttered on Victoria Day, with most Beer Stores in Kingston closed as well — except the Concession Street and Midland Avenue locations, which will both be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
