If you’re thinking of heading uptown to check out some of the events, why not take the bus.
Saint John Transit is free all day today and will be operating on a regular Sunday schedule.
You’ll also be able to hit up the mall, grab some groceries, or get a bottle of wine at the liquor store.
Since Canada Day falls on a Sunday, the observed holiday is on Monday, meaning retailers will be working on Sunday and will have to close on Monday.
Happy Canada Day long weekend! Holiday weekends mean lots of people traveling and enjoying the wonderful summer weather. Remember to stay cool, drink lots of water, and most importantly, drive safe! ????
