Ottawa's Tanger Outlets Has Been Given The Go Ahead To Open On Stat Holidays

You can now shop all day, nearly every day! 🛍
Managing Editor, Canada

There’s some good news in store for O-Town’s biggest shoppers! You can now visit Tanger Outlets in Ottawa almost all year round, including on Canada Day.

In a meeting on September 9, city council approved an exemption for the shopping venue, allowing it to open on statutory holidays.

This means the Kanata mall will now be open on New Year's Day, Family Day, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day and Thanksgiving.

People representing the mall say the change will help boost business, as many shoppers have attempted to visit on stat holidays and found the stores to be closed.

However, there was some opposition to the plan at council. Critics argued that the move would deprive employees of time-off on holidays and would put them at a higher risk of getting COVID-19.
