What’s Open and Closed for Easter 2025 Across Canada
Hey everyone! So, Easter is just around the corner, and if you're like most people, you're probably wondering what’s actually open and closed during the long weekend in 2025. It can be a bit of a maze to figure out what services are available, whether you're planning a road trip, running errands, or just want to know if your local coffee shop will be open on Sunday morning.
First off, let’s talk dates. Easter Sunday in 2025 falls on April 20th, and the long weekend stretches from Good Friday (April 18th) through to Easter Monday (April 21st). Across the country, the Easter weekend brings a bit of everything—celebration, reflection, and yes, some inconvenience if you don’t plan ahead.

On Good Friday, most government offices, banks, and schools will be closed. Public transit may run on a holiday or Sunday schedule in many cities, so make sure to double-check those timetables if you're commuting or heading out. Major grocery stores and shopping centres are generally closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, although some exceptions might exist depending on provincial regulations or private business decisions.
Now, when it comes to Easter Sunday, the closures are pretty similar. Again, most big retailers and malls will be shut, and don't be surprised if your favourite brunch spot has limited hours—or is closed altogether. Pharmacies and convenience stores may stay open, but hours can be reduced.
Easter Monday, on the other hand, is a bit more flexible. It’s not a statutory holiday in most provinces, so a lot of places reopen, especially in the private sector. That said, some federal offices and institutions may still be closed, including certain libraries and public services.
So, your best bet? If you’ve got shopping to do or errands to run, try to wrap them up by Thursday. And if you're planning a family gathering or Easter egg hunt, make sure you’ve got all your supplies in advance—don’t get stuck on Easter morning looking for chocolate bunnies or baking ingredients!
And hey, whether you're celebrating the religious meaning of Easter, enjoying the spring weather, or just relaxing with a few days off, I hope it’s a good one for you. Stay safe, enjoy the long weekend, and maybe treat yourself to some of that expensive Easter chocolate while you’re at it!
