BC Day

August 4 @ 8:00 am 5:00 pm

BC Day falls on the first Monday in August and is a public holiday in British Columbia. It’s a relaxed day with lots of options for getting outside or just taking a break. ☀️🏞️

What’s Open and Closed on BC Day?

BC Day is an official statutory holiday. That means:

  • Banks and government offices are closed.
  • BC Transit is not operating today.
  • There’s no mail delivery.

Many shops and grocery stores are either closed or keep shorter hours…so you might want to get your shopping done early.

Restaurants and convenience stores could be open, but their hours might be different than usual.
