York region takes public holidays from retail workers
On November 16, 2017, the York Region council pushed through a new bylaw to allow retail establishments to open 364 days a year. As a result, retail workers will need to be available 364 days a year. As it stands, only Christmas Day is exempt from the bylaw.
