What’s open this Easter weekend

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 09/04/2020 (2260 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

The following is a rundown of various local businesses and services’ hours of operation this Easter long weekend.

The list is far from complete. If you want your service or business to be included in The Brandon Sun’s next holiday hours listing, email your hours of operation a few days in advance to reporter Colin Slark at cslark@brandonsun.com, with “Holiday Hours” in the subject line.

The Brandon Sun will not be printed on Friday or Monday in recognition of Good Friday or Easter Monday, although a news reporter will remain on duty to post breaking news at brandonsun.com. 

New articles will still be posted on Easter Monday. 

The next editions of the newspaper will be on Saturday and Tuesday.
