Another long weekend always means the question of what is actually going to be open. Many stores and government buildings close down operations on the Monday of the Thanksgiving long weekend, and it is no different in the Hamilton area. Here’s a list of things that are closed and open in Hamilton, Burlington, and beyond.
Hamilton
All government buildings such as post offices, city hall, banks, municipal offices, facilities and most businesses will be closed on Monday,
There will be no garbage collection on Monday and the pick-up schedule will be one day later similar to after other holidays.

Buildings and services run by the city such as public libraries, arenas, and pools will all be closed as well. Public skating is not expected to return to local arenas until the new year because of the pandemic.
