The February long weekend is on the horizon and, as a result, it won’t be business as usual at every establishment on Monday, though some restrictions have loosened ahead of the holiday.
The easing of some of the province’s COVID-19-related public health measures initially scheduled for Feb. 21 was moved up to Feb. 17, mostly surrounding capacity limits.
Still, the Family Day holiday Monday will bring with it some changes to hours of operation for select businesses and services in London, Ont.
Here’s a list of what’s open and closed in London on Monday, Feb. 21.
What’s open:
- the Carling COVID-19 Assessment Centre (restrictions on testing eligibility remain in place)
- Canada Post mail collection and delivery.
- Shoppers Drug Mart locations at 1225 Wonderland Rd. N. and 510 Hamilton Rd. will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- All Rexall locations will be open but at reduced hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Wine Rack locations not operating inside of grocery stores, though hours may be reduced.
