Retailers in Manitoba will soon be able to keep their doors open longer on Sundays and holidays after the province expedited the proclamation of new legislation to eliminate current restrictions.
This new legislation announced today by Finance Minister Scott Fielding will take effect on Saturday, December 12.
“Given the current public health restrictions in place to protect Manitobans, we want to provide flexibility to businesses and customers and allow more opportunity for curbside pickup and delivery options as well as longer in-person shopping hours to minimize crowds,” said Fielding. “During this critical time for retailers across the province, we believe these updated laws will help many businesses with additional revenues as we head into the holiday season.”
