Many people won't be going to work tomorrow, but instead enjoying a long weekend.

The day isn't considered a statutory holiday for Ontario’s retailers, so places that are often closed on a long weekend will actually be open.

Some LCBO stores and beer stores will be open. You also shouldn't have trouble finding an open grocery store either.

If you feel like shopping, the malls are happy to have you.

If you have your garbage and recycling picked up on Monday, put it out as per normal.

Grand River Transit will be operating on a Sunday schedule.

But you won't be able to visit government offices, libraries and post offices, as they are all closed.

While much of Ontario calls it the Civic Holiday, that's not the name it goes by everywhere.

Monday is British Columbia day on the west coast. Albertans will enjoy Heritage Day, and in Toronto they'll mark Simcoe Day, in honour of the city's founder.

In Manitoba the province is looking at changing the name of the holiday to Terry Fox Day.

“Maybe all of Canada will do it one day. A holiday in August as Terry Fox Day, (celebrating) what my nephew has done to fight cancer,” said Terry Fox’s uncle, Terry Fox.

It's not just Terry Fox's uncle who thinks the day needs at least a more significant name.

“It's kind of just blah because no one knows the meaning. I think if we put a name on it people would understand the holiday,” said Cole Cummings.

“I think the holiday should be named after an historic significant event,” said Catalina Beltran.

“This could really be a day where people feel good about where they live, feel good about Canada,” added Kory Kieswetter.
