The Easter long weekend is almost here and if you've got big plans, you might want to make to get all your pre-holiday errands done asap.

A lot of malls, stores and other services will be operating with different hours due to there being a few stat holidays.

While Good Friday on April 7 is a stat holiday, Easter Monday on April 10 is an optional stat holiday in Alberta so some services will be back to normal. Easter Sunday will also see some spots operating with different hours too.

Make sure to check opening hours ahead of time to avoid any disappointment.
