Will Home Depot, Canadian Tire, and Home Hardware be open on the Civic Holiday?
If you're looking to pick up a few things for home repairs during the Civic Holiday, you're in luck as many stores will be open to serve customers on Monday, Aug. 4. The Civic Holiday, often simply referred to as the 'Civic,' the Civic long weekend, or the August long weekend — varies by name and celebration across provinces and municipalities. The upcoming Civic Holiday in Ontario is on Monday, Aug. 4, which makes for a much-anticipated long weekend for most. Some Home Depot stores will be open but others will have reduced operating hours, a representative from Home Depot told Metroland Media. Customers are encouraged to look up their local store on the website for more accurate operating hours. Use Home Depot's Store Locator to find a branch near you. After entering your city in the search bar, you'll see a list of stores nearby on the left side of the screen. Find the branch you want to visit and click 'Details' to see the store's hours including their Aug. 4 holiday hours. In an email to Metroland Media, a Home Hardware representative said each home store is independently owned and operated which means hours of operation are determined at the store level. ' As a result, some stores may be open on the Civic Holiday while others may choose to close or operate on reduced hours,' the representative said. Customers can use the Home Hardware Store Locator , to find a branch nearby. From the list on the left, tap 'View Store Details' to see the branch's operating hours and contact information. Like Home Depot and Home Hardware, Canadian Tire branches will have hours that may vary and the company advises customers to call their nearby branch to confirm. To find a Canadian Tire near you, use the Store Locator . Type your location in the search bar and then scroll down to see a list of stores near you.

More than 650,000 electrical outlets sold at Home Hardware recalled due to fire hazard
Health Canada says Electrical Devices Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) safety outlets with plates sold at Home Hardware have been recalled. (Health Canada) A type of electrical outlet that's been sold more than 650,000 times across Canada has been recalled due to a fire hazard. In a notice published by Health Canada on Friday, officials said three white models of the Electrical Devices Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) safety outlets with plates sold at Home Hardware locations in Canada are affected. The issue stems from the terminal screws on the made-in-China outlets, Health Canada said, which may not tighten properly and may create and increase in temperature, posing a fire hazard. 'As of July 9, 2025, the company has received 812 reports of screws that were faulty, stripped or unable to be tightened, one report of fire resulting in property damage, and no reports of injuries in Canada,' the federal agency said in the recall. The affected products have the letters 'TR' stamped on the front and the letters 'LGL' embossed on the back. More specific information about the recalled products can be found here. Health Canada said the company reported that approximately 664,000 units of the affected products have been sold in the county from 2015 to May 2025. Anyone who has the affected products should stop using them immediately and contact Unison Ridge, the distributor, for instructions on how to uninstall the outlets and return them to Home Hardware for a refund.

Canada Day 2025 celebrated across Glengarry
Glengarry certainly knows how to celebrate a holiday and Canada Day 2025 was no exception. A sea of red and white was the popular colour worn by volunteers and by most attendees to the many events spread out over the extended weekend, giving each village and hamlet the chance to celebrate within their community. The culmination of Canada Day celebrations took place on July 1, 2025, with the big noon-time parade in Alexandria, followed by family-fun activities at Island Park in North Glengarry and Smithfield Park in Lancaster. First stop, Glen Roberston The first of the celebrations for Canada Day took place in Glen Robertson on June 28, 2025, at the community centre in the hamlet. Organizer Francois Beauclair has been recruiting a group of dedicated volunteers for over 15 years to host the Canada Day event. With Glen Robertson being so close to the border between Ontario and Quebec - 'Where Ontario Began' - Francois said it only seemed fitting to have the first of the celebrations. North Glengarry Council members, as well as MP Eric Duncan, were present at the festivities as the sun broke through the clouds to shine on the flag being raised and the national anthem sung by those in attendance. With the support of sponsors such as the Township of North Glengarry, Home Hardware, B&B Market, Richard Ranger Carpet, IDA Pharmacy, Alexandria Moulding, Glengarry Tire, Green Valley Kubota, Dejardins, Lalonde Electric, R&R Sports and Stay Net Inc., local families had lots of fun. Live music, a beer garden, arts & crafts, bouncy castle and water slide were all free to enjoy. There was even a petting zoo provided by Dameya Farms that brought bunnies to cuddle, ducks, goats and miniature baby cows to pat – all a very big hit with the kids. Apple Hill celebrations Apple Hill was the next stop on the Canada Day celebration path. The village hosted its event on the afternoon and into the evening of June 28, 2025. For just $5, attendees could get their choice of two hotdogs or a pulled pork sandwich and a bag of chips. There was a bar for adult refreshments, and everything could be enjoyed under a large awning with picnic tables, while listening to the amazing music of the Ceilidh Drovers. The sun was shining strong by the late afternoon and everyone, including local Councillors who took the time to partake in the celebrations, seem to be enjoying fun, family time. Maxville festivities celebrating Canada's birthday June 30th saw the village of Maxville celebrating Canada Day at the local Fairgrounds. With the help of volunteers from the Maxville Recreation Association and Youth Unlimited on the day of the event, Councillor Gary Martin organized the Canada Day celebrations - something he has been doing for over 30 years. Councillor Martin even built the games for children to play. For the 12 and under group, various activities such as frisbee launch, snowball throw and ring toss, allowed kids to earn tokens to exchange for prizes. And perfectly suited to the hot summer's evening, kids participated in a fun balloon toss and didn't mind getting wet if their balloon burst. A $100 egg toss for youth 12 and over was held along with a karaoke sing-along contest open to anyone. Alice, proudly wearing her Canadian flag cape, and her family are from a neighbouring township. They enjoyed Canada Day in Maxville last year and knew they wanted to participate again in the 2025 festivities. The family loved the community-oriented atmosphere that wasn't overcrowded, where kids had room to run & play and celebrate Canada's birthday. Family fun at Smithfield Park in Lancaster July 1st saw even more celebrations for Canada Day. Smithfield Park in Lancaster, through the volunteer work of the Optimist Club, hosted a great afternoon of fun for families. This well-attended event had bouncy castles suited for different ages and a waterslide that was very popular. There was mini putt for budding golfers, lots of picnic tables for families to enjoy food from the Rick's Ranch Restro and Fraser Creek Pizza. The lineup for the cotton candy showed just how tasty it was, and the afternoon talent contest provided additional fun for both participants and those watching. Mother Nature proved a little challenging at times and the sky was imposing as black clouds passed over, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The free celebrations in Smithfield Park were held with the support of local sponsors, including: the Township of South Glengarry; BMR Cornwall; Long Sault Mini Storage; GTU International; Rozon Insurance; Jack Pine; the Kovinich Group; Cornwall Aviation; Knights of Columbus; Legion Branch 544 from Lancaster; Dantamz Construction; Richard Ranger Carpet; Munro Agromart; Viau Excavation; St. Pierre Autopro; and Lawrence Architects. Canada Day parade through the streets of Alexandria Alexandria kicked off its Canada Day celebrations with an amazing parade through the streets of town and all the way to Island Park where bouncy castles, face painting, live music, food and vendors awaited attendees. The parade was organized by the Alexandria Lions Club, a group of volunteers dedicated to supporting the community through initiatives, offering bursaries to students, contributing to local schools, sports teams and Glengarry Memorial Hospital, along with organizing the Santa Claus Parade and Canada Day festivities. The Canada Day celebrations in Alexandria were supported with the help of Alexandria Moulding, United Steelworkers, Wilcox Law office, KMAC Electric, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 423, Alexandria Recreation Association, Alexandria Stationery/Glengarry Printing, Minimax Express, Genesis Kitchen, Youth for Christ-Youth Unlimited, Desjardins de la vallee, B& B Food Market, Barbershop Chez Josee along with The Township of North Glengarry. The parade thrilled the many people who lined the route and fortunately the rain held off until all participants had reached the end at Lochiel Street. North Glengarry Firefighters, walking alongside their various rescue equipment, handed out freezies to appreciative onlookers. Sparky the Fire Dog also attended the parade, to the delight of all the kids who got high-fives and hugs. Parade goers enjoyed the sounds of the Glengarry Pipes & Drums band, as well as the drumline from St. Thomas High School in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, whose band director is Kate Miller from Martintown. Classic cars and vintage tractors made their way through town, along with a big group of equestrians and their horses, all decked out in red, sporting Canadian flags, led by Rosemarie Huxted from RLH Equestrian in Dalkeith. The afternoon festivities at Island Park in Alexandria did get hit by the downpour, but somehow, as darkness fell, between thunder rolls and fading lightening, a fantastic display of fireworks glittered over Mill Pond. Seeing local council members, and even the MP for SDG Counties, in attendance at each of the various festivities, celebrating shoulder to shoulder with residents was inspiring. Communities across both North and South Glengarry celebrated Canada Day with what seemed to be more Canadian flags hung outside houses, more red & white t-shirts worn by the crowds, and a whole lot of pride for this great country.
