Editing Shopping hours (section)

===Canada===
Store hours in Canada are regulated by each province or territory and, in some provinces, individual municipalities as well.

As a general rule, there is little regulation of shopping hours across the country. In the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, as well as all three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut), there are no restrictions at all and stores can open 24/7 every day. Nova Scotia permits any store to open every day of the year except Remembrance Day (November 11).

The remaining provinces (Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador) require stores to close on most major holidays. Furthermore, three provinces have further restrictions on Sunday openings. In Manitoba, stores may open on Sundays only with municipal approval and only between 9&nbsp;am - 6 pm (although exceptions for essential services apply). New Brunswick allows Sunday opening all year only with both municipal and provincial approval; otherwise it is permitted only from August until the New Year. Some communities in New Brunswick (such as [[Woodstock, New Brunswick|Woodstock]], [[Miramichi, New Brunswick|Miramichi]], [[Sussex, New Brunswick|Sussex]]) restrict Sunday hours of operation to 12&nbsp;pm - 5&nbsp;pm.

The province of Quebec is the only province in Canada that regulates shopping hours outside of Sundays and holidays. As a general rule, stores are permitted to open only between 8&nbsp;am and 9&nbsp;pm weekdays and 8&nbsp;am - 5&nbsp;pm weekends, excluding holidays. There are several exceptions, however, notably several supermarkets in Montreal, which are open later hours or 24 hours a day.

In practice, few stores in Canada (except a few grocery stores) remain open 24 hours. Most shopping centres open from 10&nbsp;am-9pm Monday to Friday, 9:30&nbsp;am - 6&nbsp;pm (or in some cases 9&nbsp;pm) on Saturday and 12&nbsp;pm - 5&nbsp;pm or 6&nbsp;pm on Sunday. Many larger stores, such as [[Walmart Canada]], and most major grocery stores remain open 8&nbsp;am - 10&nbsp;pm Monday to Saturday and 10&nbsp;am - 6&nbsp;pm (in some provinces 8 am - 10 pm) on Sunday, except in provinces where further restrictions apply. The [[Sobeys]] chain stays open from 7&nbsp;am - 11&nbsp;pm on weekdays and Saturdays, though some locations are open twenty-four hours. Many [[Loblaws]] brand stores such as [[Zehrs Markets]] and [[Real Canadian Superstore]] are open from 7&nbsp;am - 11&nbsp;pm, 7 days a week.
