LCBO Closures and What’s Open on Labour Day 2024 in Ontario
As Labour Day approaches, many Ontarians are planning their activities for the long weekend and wondering what will be open on Monday, September 2. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate what’s open and closed during the holiday.
Labour Day marks the unofficial end of summer and is typically a day when many businesses and services either close or operate on reduced hours. This year, many grocery stores and retail outlets will adjust their schedules to accommodate the holiday.
Grocery Stores: If you need to stock up on essentials, some grocery stores will remain open, though many will have modified hours. Stores like Sobeys, Foodland, FreshCo, and Farm Boy will have some locations open across Ontario, but it's a good idea to check their websites or use store locators to confirm hours for your specific area. Metro will also be open in some locations, but be sure to verify with your local store.
Costco: Costco shoppers should note that all Costco locations will be closed on Labour Day. If you need to visit, plan your trip before or after the holiday.
Walmart: On a brighter note, many Walmart stores will be open on Labour Day. Again, checking with your local Walmart for specific hours is advisable.

Alcohol: For those looking to purchase alcohol, LCBO stores will be closed on Labour Day. The LCBO will operate with regular hours over the weekend but will shut its doors on Monday. However, some LCBO Convenience Outlets might be open if local regulations allow, as these are privately-operated businesses in communities without a nearby LCBO.
In contrast, The Beer Store will have 128 locations open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Labour Day. You can find the exact hours for your nearest Beer Store by checking their website. Additionally, Wine Rack will have 84 of its stores open, so you can still pick up your favorite wine—just remember to check their hours before heading out.
Transit: Transit services will also be affected. GO Transit will run on a Saturday schedule, so expect some changes in service frequency. It’s a good idea to check the schedules on gotransit.com to plan your trips effectively.
Other Services:
- Banks and Government Offices: Most banks and government offices will be closed, so plan any transactions or visits accordingly.
- Libraries and Recreational Facilities: Many libraries and recreational facilities will also be closed or operating with limited hours. Check with your local facility to confirm their status.
- Pharmacies: Many pharmacies will be open, including major chains like Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall, but it’s best to confirm their hours.
In summary, while Labour Day is a time for relaxation and reflection, it’s also a day where many businesses take a break. Whether you're stocking up on groceries, planning a trip, or just looking to enjoy the holiday, make sure to check the specific hours of operation for your favorite spots. Enjoy the long weekend and have a great Labour Day!
