Are banks and mail closed on remembrance day
In Canada, Remembrance Day (November 11th) is a federal public holiday, and many businesses, including banks and post offices, typically observe this holiday. Here's what you can expect:
Banks:
- Most major banks in Canada, such as the Big Five (RBC, TD, Scotiabank, CIBC, and BMO), will be closed on Remembrance Day.
- Some smaller, independent banks or credit unions might also be closed, but it's best to check with them directly.
- Online banking and mobile banking services will likely be available, but you may not be able to access physical bank branches or conduct transactions in person.
Post Offices:
- Canada Post, the national postal service, will be closed on Remembrance Day.
- This means that mail delivery and post office services will not be available on this day.
- You can still use online services, such as tracking packages or sending mail, but physical post offices will be closed.
Other businesses:
- Many other businesses, including government offices, schools, and some retail stores, will also be closed on Remembrance Day.
- However, some businesses, such as convenience stores, pharmacies, and restaurants, might remain open, but it's always a good idea to call ahead to confirm.
Remember to plan ahead and make any necessary arrangements before Remembrance Day, as many services will be unavailable.
