Here's What's Open & Closed This Victoria Day Long Weekend In Ontario
The May long weekend is here!
Do you have any Victoria Day plans?
The May long weekend is fast approaching, and most people in Ontario will have May 22 off for Victoria Day 2023.
Victoria Day is a federal statutory holiday, so chances are you'll have the day off to enjoy the sunshine, head up to the cottage or just relax at home.
May two-four weekend is a busy time with many Ontarians headed down for the start of cottage season, and not everything will be open on Victoria Day, so you may want to plan ahead.
Some grocery stores and malls will be closed or operating for limited hours, so you'll want to stock up beforehand.
Here's everything you need to know about what will be open and closed on Victoria Day in Ontario.
