"Retailers now have the choice to stay open on Victoria Day after recent amendments to Ontario's Retail Business Holidays Act. The changes removed Victoria Day as a designated holiday under the act, which governs retail business closures. All existing rights under the Employment Standards Act are maintained. That means employers can offer employees the option to take the day off or work with time-and-a-half pay."
"Major grocery stores can open their doors on Monday, which is a change from previous years, but they may choose to be open fewer hours. The LCBO will open 304 stores across Ontario from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Customers can use the LCBO store locator to find the hours of operation for Toronto stores. The Beer Store will open three Toronto locations and five Scarborough locations from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m."
"The following malls will be open: CF Toronto Eaton Centre: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Scarborough Town Centre: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Yorkdale Shopping Centre: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Square One Shopping Centre: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. CF Fairview Mall: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. CF Sherway Gardens: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Vaughan Mills: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m."
"The TTC will have holiday service on Monday. That means all TTC routes will operate on their Sunday service schedules, but will start earlier, at about 6 a.m. Metrolinx and the TTC say Line 6 Finch West will be closed on Friday, May 15 at 2:30 a.m. through Tuesday, May 19 at 4 a.m. Regular service is scheduled to resume at the start of the day on Tuesday."
Victoria Day falls on Monday, May 18. Ontario retail closures rules changed so Victoria Day is no longer a designated retail holiday under the Retail Business Holidays Act. Employment Standards Act rights remain in place, allowing employers to offer employees the choice to take the day off or work with time-and-a-half pay. Major grocery stores can open on Monday, though they may operate fewer hours. LCBO stores across Ontario open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and customers can check Toronto hours using the store locator. Beer Store locations open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Several malls open with listed hours. TTC runs Sunday schedules on Monday with earlier starts around 6 a.m., while Line 6 Finch West is closed from May 15 to May 19 for maintenance.
