Today is a holiday for many provincial and municipal government workers.
The St. George’s Day holiday is written into many collective bargaining agreements in this province—along with Orangeman’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day.
In St. John’s, city offices will be closed, but all recreational facilities will be open, while garbage collection will go ahead as usual.
St. George’s Day is not a shops closing day, which means that stores will be open and paid parking will be in effect.
