Quebec Retailers Stay Open Later on Weekends

Quebecs New Retail Hours: A Pilot Project for Extended Shopping

Quebec has introduced a one-year trial allowing retailers to stay open until nine p.m. on weekends, aiming to boost local spending and create more weekend jobs. The change, effective March 11th, has sparked mixed reactions from shoppers and retail workers. While some welcome the convenience, others dread the extra shifts. The province, the only one in Canada with year-round retail hour regulations, will evaluate the results to decide on making it permanent.
