Stores in These 3 Quebec Cities Will Stay Open Late on Weekends in Pilot Project
- This summer, the Quebec government launched a pilot program permitting non-food retailers located in three selected cities—including Gatineau, Laval, and Saint-Georges—to extend their weekend operating hours until 8 p.m.
- The pilot aims to adapt to changed consumer habits influenced by online shopping, as commercial establishments must remain competitive by adjusting business hours.
- Gatineau was chosen for its border location, Laval for its urban retail hub status, and Saint-Georges for representing local economies outside major cities, while pharmacies and food stores are excluded.
- Minister Christopher Skeete emphasized that for businesses to stay competitive, they need the flexibility to modify their operating hours and days to attract a larger number of customers, which is a key goal of the pilot program.
- The government will evaluate the pilot’s impact on workers and consumers through a report to determine if extended hours should become permanent province-wide.
