Reopening on Sundays
As of May 24, 2020, essential retailers (grocery, pharmacy, etc.) in the Greater Montreal Area may be open on Sundays. Beginning May 31, all the Greater Montreal Area businesses will be able to open on Sundays. For the rest of Quebec, retailers may open on Sundays as of May 24 for all businesses.
This flexibility will allow retailers to distribute the traffic over 7 days rather than 6 days, thus promoting better social distancing. It should be noted that the flexibility linked to the number of employees and extended hours disappears with the return to the usual regulations on opening hours.
