Retailers can open Victoria Day under new Ford government rules

For the first time in Ontario, retailers can open for business on Victoria Day Monday after the Ford government loosened holiday closure rules. The Ontario Legislature recently passed changes to the Retail Business Holidays Act, allowing retail stores to open on Family Day and Victoria Day if they choose. Many grocery stores, malls, and Costcos are planning to open on Monday, along with all Beer Stores and LCBOs. The government says no employee will be forced to work if they want the day off.
