Canada Day is just around the corner, and Calgary is gearing up for a busy mid-week holiday as the city shifts into celebration mode. With July 1 falling on a Wednesday this year, regular schedules across attractions, services and businesses will look a little different than usual.
To avoid all the confusion, we’ve put together a list of everything open and closed in the city, so you know exactly what to expect before heading out.
Let’s jump into it!
What’s open
- Movie theatres (Cineplex and Landmark)

- City-owned golf courses
- Grocery stores
- Telus Spark
- The Calgary Tower
- Heritage Park
- Studio Bell
What’s closed

Whether you’re using the day to sleep in, explore the city or just take advantage of a rare mid-week break, Calgary still has plenty open and running to help you make the most of Canada Day. But with holiday hours in effect across many services and businesses, things won’t be operating quite like a regular Wednesday, so it’s always worth double-checking before you head out.
And if you’re still searching for Canada Day plans in Calgary, stay tuned — we’ll be rounding up all of the events happening across the city so you don’t miss anything worth getting out for.
Enjoy the day off, Calgary.
