Here's What Is Open & Closed In Alberta For Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is coming up and in Alberta on Friday, November 11, and since it is a statutory holiday, many Albertans will get the day off work.

However, if you're looking to head to the grocery store or the mall, some places will be operating shorter hours, with a lot of places opening after 11 a.m. due to the traditional two minutes of silence.
