Labour Day 2022: What’s open, closed and what is going on on in Guelph

Autumn is around the corner and it’s back-to-school time for many. But before that there is still Labour Day Monday, a day off for many, to enjoy.

Here is a look at much of what is open and closed on Sept. 5 in Guelph, with a look at some things to do, too.

Environment Canada is calling for a high of 21C in Guelph on Labour Day, with a 30 per cent chance of showers.

TRASH AND TREASURE

ONE-DAY DELAY

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING
