Don't expect a quiet day for retail Monday in Steinbach. That, according to Executive Director Linda Peters with the Chamber of Commerce.

Monday is Terry Fox Day in Manitoba. It is a civic holiday, not a stat or a general holiday. For that reason, businesses are allowed to be open if they desire. Peters says some businesses will choose to be closed in order to give their staff a day off, but others will definitely be open.

In Steinbach, Peters says she expects most of the large retail stores to be open. She says hours of operation could vary from regular hours for some, to limited afternoon hours for others.

Meanwhile, the Steinbach Aquatic Centre will have two public swim sessions from 11am to 2pm and then from 3pm to 6pm. Peters says they are expecting a busy day and recommend pre-purchasing swim passes. The Steinbach Fly-In Golf Course will be open, while the Jake Epp Library will stay closed Monday.

She adds there is a lot happening at Mennonite Heritage Village all weekend with their annual Pioneer Days.
