Ontario to let stores open on Family Day and Victoria Day in 2026 with time-and-a-half pay.
Ontario is proposing to allow retailers to open on Family Day and Victoria Day starting in 2026, ending mandatory closures and giving businesses and workers the option to operate with time-and-a-half pay.
The change, aimed at standardizing holiday rules across the province, follows Premier Doug Ford’s criticism of closed stores during holidays and seeks to boost economic activity without altering existing worker protections like public holiday pay or the right to refuse work.
The bill is expected to be introduced after the legislature resumes on March 23, with passage targeted for implementation by Victoria Day.
