Nova Scotia is observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation today, and some businesses and services are closed for the day.
Provincial and federal government offices are closed, as are banks and most post offices; post offices operated by the private sector might be open along with the businesses hosting them.
There is no garbage collection today, nor is Transit Cape Breton and HandiTrans running today.
And the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation’s stores are closed today.
The Mayflower Mall is open on a holiday schedule today, from 10 this morning until 5 this evening.
Grocery stores and Walmart are open today as usual, as are most pharmacies, although it’s a good idea to call ahead just in case.
