The L-C-B-O has announced extended hours in advance of a possible strike as well as to help customers shopping for Canada Day activities.
It says select stores will open from as early as 9:00 a-m to as late as 11:00 p-m starting today through Saturday, while some stores will be open from 11:00 a-m to 6:00 p-m on Sunday.
All stores will be closed on Canada Day but over 450 stores across Ontario will open from as early as 9:00 a-m until 11:00 p-m the following day, if the Crown corporation isn't hit by labour action.
Members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union will be in a legal strike position just after midnight next Monday -- although the L-C-B-O has said it is hopeful a negotiated collective agreement can be reached.
