Truth and Reconciliation

What’s open and closed on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation?

Sep 29, 2021 | 3:00 PM

Canada’s newest holiday, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, takes place on Sept. 30.

Federally regulated industries such as banks and federal government offices in Prince Albert will close along with some city facilities.

Earlier this month, the City of Prince Albert announced it would recognize the day as a municipal holiday for its employees.

On Sept. 30, transit service will not operate and many city-owned offices will close for the day. This includes City Hall, the EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts, the Municipal Service Centre, the South Hill Cemetery office, Frank J. Dunn pool, and the office inside the Art Hauser Centre.

The Knotty Pine Bistro in Little Red River Park will also close.
